Praise-Addicted Dog Who Got Complimented For Finding 1 Truffle Now Won't Stop Collecting Them, Leading Her Confused Owner To Ask Reddit What To Do

Dogs are such strange, wonderful creatures, aren't they? There are some things that they do that just… make life worth living, and it doesn't matter how silly those things might be. Have you ever chased a dog who thought it was a game? True, it might have given you a minor heart attack, but now it's a story that you tell all the heckin' time. Has your dog ever been kicked out of doggy-daycare? Ours has, and it was one of the most embarrassing things ever, but again, we talk about it all the time now. Has your dog ever led you to best spot on a walk (because it found a Dorito in that bush once)? It is the best spot, don't argue, just go.

Dogs are everything to us, and we love them more than anything in the world. But we do have to say that as much as we love their shenanigans, said shenanigans are never exactly… profitable. Well, that's not true in this case.

    r/ r/foraging u/[deleted] • 2d Join My dog keeps finding truffles (PNW), can I rebury them? Hunting

    What a completely random, silly and wonderful issue to have. When we first saw this extremely, unexpectedly viral thread, we were mostly confused. Why is something out of a foraging community going viral? And then we realized that there is a cute dog involved and everything made sense again.

    This sweet doggo is finding little pieces of gold for you, and you are thinking of putting them back in the ground because selling them seems strange to you, and we cannot think of a more wholesome pair of creatures in this universe. More people should be like you. And like your dog.

    I'm using the hunting flair, but this is literally on our daily walks. We're not hunting truffles, she has NEVER been trained (she's a stray found on the side of the road about 11 years ago). I don't know if she's always done this and I haven't noticed (she likes to eat them), but once I did notice I praised her extensively.

    My pup is a dog who responds to praise like an addict. I've accidentally praised her for things before and she will now not stop doing them because of the ONE TIME she got an endorphin rush from my response.

    The problem is that I first noticed she had found a truffle yesterday and praised her like the good girl she is. Now on our walks (three times a day, usually, in our back woods) hunting truffles is ALL she wants to do. I wouldn't mind except she keeps finding them! I have five white truffles, the largest being golf ball sized, and while I love truffle flavor I don't want to waste these. Already have ordered a very light oil to make some truffle oil, and plan to make a compound butter, but I don'

    If I get a bucket of the same soil they're growing in, can I just rebury them? I'd prefer to leave them where they are, but she'd just unearth them on our next walk, tail wagging furiously and so sweetly proud. (Dog tax included) 39.6k 1,749 Comments

    ManyCanary5464 2d Just confirmed that like a lot other mushrooms, they can keep fresh for a couple of weeks dry and wrapped in paper towels in a paper bag in a cool spot of your fridge. I usually use a crisper drawer. You can also slice thin and dehydrate. ETA, I don't think you want to rebury it as it might just turn to goo since it's already separated from its mycelium (kind of like its roots). Kind of like tying an apple back on the tree. : Reply 2.1k

    [deleted] • 2d The apple analogy makes so much sense that I feel a little silly now haha. Right now I have them in airtight containers, not touching, each on top of some paper towel. I like your dehydrating idea-I don't have a dehydrator, but I'll look into it! +407

    [deleted] • 2d These are my back woods, my happy place; I wouldn't know the first thing about making a profit off of this. I just really don't want them to go to waste, or destroy how/where they grow. ⠀ 4243

    aesirmazer 2d Well, you have a proven truffle grove and a truffle dog now, have you considered selling the extras? The truffle oil would make great gifts too. Or if there's a restaurant you frequent you could ask the chef if they need any. As for re burying them, you would need to do it near a tree they like and there's no guarantee that it will spread the truffles. : Reply 388

    [deleted] • 2d I wouldn't know the first thing about selling them, honestly, no clue as to worth or expected quantity or literally anything about that. It's important to me they don't go to waste, more than anything. Love your idea about truffle oil as a gift! 4 39

    bistichual 2d My dog finds them too! She found her first one when she was 2 months old. Unfortunately she likes them so much I haven't been able to negotiate a trade, not even with a high value treat. You should for sure make truffle salt. ⠀ Reply 61 [deleted] • 2d . Ooooh, truffle salt!! I like that.

    Affectionate-Emu9574 2d White American truffles sell for up to $600 per pound. I'd be giving that gorgeous doggy lots of praise and a couple extra walks a day! Seriously, contact a couple local fine dining places. Reply ↑ 59
