Chef Mo' the pitbull whips up one of his favorite snacks before sharing them with his 8 furry siblings.
Moses is one of nine rescue dogs in the care of Chris and Mariesa Hughes, who run the YouTube channel Life in the Dog House.

I only witnessed one instance of Mo' licking the raw biscuit dough, proving he already has a much firmer grasp of kitchen etiquette than Paula Deen.

*sigh*, for whatever reason this reminds me of the time I was halfway through teaching our pitbull to fetch a beer out of the fridge.
We even got far enough that he would bring me a beer a time or two, but most of our training attempts would either end with him pulling the rope attached to the fridge door too hard* and causing a huge commotion of jangling condiments or him freezing up while staring into the, now open, fridge with a "Holy shit / What hath God wrought" look on his face.
This is about the same time that I realized that I didn't have the trainer acumen to teach him to actually close the fridge door behind him, thus breaking the practicality of the trick if not the amazing-ness of it, as well as coming to the realization that teaching our dog to open the fridge door, and quietly at that, might not be the wisest thing we'd ever done to ourselves.
So now we're happy with one less doggy waiter and stick to the tricks involving treats and holding them on his nose.

IANADog person, but from the sound of it the dog is either suffering or in ecstasy.

The first few minutes, where the dog was staring blankly into the camera and moaning, until the appearance of cheese, whereupon its attention was completely and utterly focused on that and only that is pretty much a perfect analog of how my life works.

Watching this with the sound off was adorable. I mostly was amused at Mo's continuously wagging butt/tail.

From my own personal experience, having had a staffy that made this exact same noise, it's something between the dog not knowing what you want it to do, and being desperate to either jump on you and lick your face/go for walkies/eat all the cookie dough.

When the dough was rolled out, I was waiting in anticipation for the moment when she would put a cookie cutter on the dough, and put Mo's paw on top of it so that he could cut one out "himself". The fact that this event did not take place disappoints me more than I'm ready to acknowledge, if I'm frank.

Seriously. SO MANY DOGS. I was like, "how many of those are there?" because I didn't bother reading the line in the description about the eight sibling dogs until after seeing all of them. My hands are full with two small dogs so I don't understand how people do this successfully with large dogs.

Agony and ecstasy are the only two settings dogs have.
