Hickory dines at Sardi's, NYC?

The now famous Scottish Wolfhound, "Foxcliffe Hickory Wind" entered
Sardi's for a lunch and another of rapid fire press events, was served a
filet mignon steak on a silver platter by Sardi's owner.

The free lunch backfired when Hickory wouldn't eat the steak. "Not one
of her favorite treats."

I wonder if maybe she wasn't still in "show off" mode or just dog tired.

It sure was a great publicity stunt for Sardi's! They'll be talking
about that for a long time. Good for them! I'll bet other famous
restaurants there are kicking themselves.

No doubt her photograph will take it's place on the wall of fame there.

I don't know NY health codes about pets in restaurants but for a
champion, I'd guess they'd be willing to bend the rules.

That said, she looks pretty scruffy to me which plainly explains why I'm
not a judge at world-class dog shows.

I see why Hickory was immediately retired. What's left to accomplish?

Not such a great publicity stunt if the dog didn't eat! Who wants to eat at
a restaurant which mishandles steak so badly that a dog won't eat it? A dog
will eat cat turds, ferchrissake!

I'm reminded of when I lived in New York City (in 1983-84) and bought a
restaurant guide. The reviewer had something like this to say about Sardi's:
"Their signature dish is their canneloni, which is made from leather wrapped
around cat food and spot-welded to an ashtray."

Bob, who correctly predicted that the Scottish Wolfhound would win Best In
Show.

Bob,

Perhaps you're right. I only know Sardi's by reputation.

In Los Angeles, we did share the backyard with a pair of Borzoi Russian
wolfhounds. The most amazing largest dogs I ever saw. They showed with
the owner/handler next door of our twin.

They where charming BUMS!!! to stand up on their hind legs and peek up
and watch us make meals in the kitchen. They probably stood about 8'
tall. Mild mannered to be around until they got loose by accident when
they became a perfect example of poetry in motion in full stride. A
beautiful sight to see. They were not meant to be back yard dogs!!!!!!

We had our shrimp but lioness Jack Russell Terrier.who knew no
boundaries in her seniority! :))) The borzois loved her.

Best,

Andy

Andy, shit for brains missed an opportunity to show he's smarter than
you (NOT)... Hickory is a Scottish DEERhound! And often dogs will
refuse steak (especially when regularly well fed, and most especially
those that have undergone obedience training), dogs are not
carnivores. And most dogs (even when hungry) won't eat with an
audience of strangers... and even a cat (a true carnivore) won't eat
meat right off the heat. In the critter world eating is when they are
most vulnerable, their sense of smell, hearing, and line of sight are
greatly diminished... herding animals will post a sentry, alone they
will stop eating often to check surroundings and with the slightest
threat won't eat at all and most will take flight. Sardis' steak is
no better or worse than any, nor would any dog know USDA Prime from
lesser grades... in fact most dogs would prefer raw horsemeat. The
dunce isn't smarter than anyone, and as soon as he feels threatened by
superior intelligence (which appears to be more and more often) he
regresses into his infantile hostility.

Yeah, I wrote Wolfhound, but meant Deerhound. Good catch, fuckhead; you get
the Steaming Shit of the Day Award! Will you eat it all right now, or save
some for later?
