As stated previously, an axiom of Dump’s personality is that he adores food – “edible” being just one attribute. Naturally, Mama and Daddy are eternally worried that a plastic bead is being swallowed, a fungal infection is being digested, or maybe the tummy is being washed down with a gulp of shampoo. So, if Dumps appears to be solitary with his lips sealed, Mama or Daddy try and force a finger down his mouth and yank stuff out.

Years (ummm.. months) of such conditioning has converted Dumps into a gourmand-on-the-run.

Now, as soon as Pumps takes a bite off Daddy’s Belgian chocolate cup, he runs! Only to return when the bite is over. Taste a spoon of Mama’s savory pudding, and off he goes again! Feed him some mouthwatering watermelons, and watch him go!
