My cousin Bob owns a dog named Bridgette. We have never met a dog who likes food as much as Bridgette does. Sometimes it seems like she spends all her time thinking about food!

Bridgette weighs 19 pounds. Bob feeds her half a cup of dogfood in the morning and half a cup of dogfood in the evening. He says that is about 1/8 of a pound of food per day.

Do you think Bridgette eats a lot relative to her size?
