Dogs all over the world are known for burying things, from bones to chew toys, from food to (yikes!) your shoes.
Why they do this is another mystery of dog behavior called “caching,” which wolves also do, although no one is certain of the reason for this instinctual drive. It is quite curious that some dogs do it with whatever treat they get while others never bury anything.
