My mom has a dwarf peach tree and my dog loved to pick the peaches off it 
and eat them. I had asked mom if it was ok that my dog was doing that and 
she told me that was one of the reasons she had planted the tree, so that 
our larger pets could have easy access to the fruit. I thought it was a cute 
idea.
