Eccentric Pudding Dog Recipe

Preparation:

1. Mix the butter, sugar, egg whites, cottage cheese, 1 cup of milk, and vanilla in a mixing bowl; stir well with a wooden spoon. The mixture will be thick.
2. Cut each slice of bread in half, place the pieces in a single layer in a shallow dish, and pour the remaining 3 cups milk over them. Allow bread to soak until saturated, for about 5 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350° F. and butter two 13 x 9-inch baking dishes.
4. Remove the bread from the milk, reserving the milk, and layer the pieces in the baking dishes alternately with the cottage cheese mixture, sprinkling each layer of cottage cheese with a few raisins.
5. Beat the egg yolks. Add the milk reserved from soaking the bread and combine well. Pour the mixture over the bread and cheese, dust with nutmeg, and bake from 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm. You can make 4 quarts of pudding with this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of unsalted butter, melted

• 4 large eggs, separated

Note:
A favorite of many dogs, this dish is high in carbohydrates and appeals to the sweet tooth in geriatric dogs.

Pets have been found to have a therapeutic effect in nursing homes, prison programs, and psychiatric settings. Research shows that pets do influence their owners' health in positive, measurable forms.

A study on heart disease published in 1980 found that people who owned pets lived longer than those who didn't. Holding a pet can calm a person who is suffering from hypertension and helps to lower high blood pressure.
