Blind Pittie Smells Mac and Cheese and Makes the Sweetest Case for Paying the Cheese Tax
(Image Via: Liz Tracy Photography/Shutterstock)
I’m emotionally prepared to give Maisy, a blind Pit Bull, anything she wants after seeing her smell mac and cheese. That precious face makes an extremely persuasive argument for the cheese tax. I understand that dogs need appropriate treats, but my heart has already handed this girl the entire grocery budget.
The video starts with a pot of bright yellow macaroni, then shows Maisy sitting nearby with her nose lifted toward the delicious news. Her big pink ears, white face stripe, and tiny peek of tooth are almost too much. She looks like she’s having a private moment with the aroma, and I would appreciate everyone respecting her concentration.
Instagram user @maisy_sees_all shared the clip, with the text, “POV: you’re making mac and cheese and your blind dog can smell it.”
Maisy has clearly identified an important kitchen development. Nobody needs to announce dinner. She would simply like to know whether the appropriate paperwork has been completed to include her.

I recognize that expression. It’s me when someone walks past with food I wasn’t expecting and suddenly my own lunch seems deeply inadequate.
Her nose points upward, her ears are at attention, and that sweet mouth looks ready to receive a formal offer. She hasn’t brought a bowl, but I’m confident we could locate one.
The comments are full of people volunteering as her snack advocates:
“I am the dog’s attorney. She is owed some mac & cheesies,” wrote @shawndonmusic.
“She’s going to need to taste test that for you!” added @dmt93777.
“Give her all of it. Right now,” wrote @thomasajacobs.
“Cheese tax is double for Maisy,” declared @hashanimalcare.
Her legal team appears extensive. I would settle out of court.
Picking a Dog-Safe Treat for Your Kitchen Supervisor
Maisy deserves wonderful things, but the entire box is an expression of my affection. Rich mac and cheese is best kept as a human dinner.
The ASPCA notes that dairy can cause digestive upset in pets, while onion and garlic are ingredients to avoid. The American Kennel Club recommends cheese only as an occasional treat for dogs who tolerate it.
For a safer snack routine:
Check every ingredient before sharing.
Choose a familiar dog treat that suits your pup’s diet.
Keep portions small.
Ask your veterinarian about treats if your dog has food sensitivities or dietary restrictions.
Maisy can still collect her kitchen supervisor bonus. With that face, I’d probably pay it early.
