DOG BAIT

1 cup all-purpose flour

¾ cup cornmeal

1 garlic dove, finely chopped, or ½ teaspoon garlic salt

1 pound fresh liver

Preheat the oven to 350°G F.

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, and garlic.

Cut the liver into small pieces, put in the blender, and puree. Combine with flour mixture.

Spread the mixture as evenly as possible in a greased baking pan or a 9-inch pie dish.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until done.

Remove and cut into pieces, sized to your dog’s preference.

DOGS ARE MORE easily bribed than cats. At the Westminster Dog Show held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Mom watched every possible bribe other than raw meat being offered. Barbara L. Powers, president of the Dachshund Club of America, was showing a stunning dog when she tossed a treat to Mom standing on the sidelines. Later, Mom asked her for the recipe, which I’ve recounted here, because the bait smelled good even to a human’s nose.

I can testify that Barbara’s bait works because Tucker will do anything Mother asks if there’s a homemade liver treat for a reward. Imagine, selling your soul for liver.
