“After he was accidentally let out of his home, Max walked for 2 hours to a local convenience store where workers had fed him a breakfast burrito before. The store hadn't opened yet when he got there, but Max was found the next morning patiently waiting outside for his well-earned snack. His GPS collar told the entire story.”

My dog remembers every single store that has ever given him a treat, and will drag me to all of them.
