Polly

[den]

My big, brave blue cattle dog has a mortal fear of the toaster. I always wondered why she didn't like coming inside in the mornings and, when she did, she hid under the computer in the office.

Polly will guard the house and attack any monster that invades, but the soft "ka-chunk" of toast popping leaves her a shivering wreck.

Feed her some buttered toast afterward and see what she does *then*:D.
And whatever you do, don't show her *this*:

Dr Penfield, I smell burnt toast!

It's not the 'ka-chunk!', it's the aura of burnt toast that's giving your dog fits.
