HUSH! Puppies
Did you know that the legend of how these golden battered beauties came about started way back in the Wild, Wild West? Apparently, cowboys who used dogs to help herd their cattle across the range would fry up leftover corn batter and would use them as treats for their dogs to keep them quiet at…
