If you have a rottweiler who is tall enough to reach your stove,
do not leave your soup pot unattended or he will burn his tongue and mouth and you will be left with nothing for supper.
True story, except that the person who had the Rotter had two and when the soup was gone except for a few noodles on the bottom of the pot she had to go around smelling their breath to see which one did it, so she would know whom to punish.
