He pushed on.

Wyatt's dog was very picky about his food, but he was determined to get him to eat only dog food. No more scraps from the table, and no more fancy wet dog food mixed in with the dry dog food. For days and days, Wyatt gave the dog only dog food, and the dog just barely nibbled on it. Wyatt became concerned, so he knew he had to do something. When the dog wasn't looking, Wyatt buried a piece of crispy bacon in the bottom of the food dish and set it down. The dog went crazy sniffing and whining for the bacon. Suddenly, he realized that the only way to get to the bacon was to eat the dog food...
What can you infer about the success of Wyatt's solution?

• The dog will be mad that Wyatt tried to trick him and he won't eat the food.
• The dog will want only bacon from now on. 
• The dog will finally eat the food because he wants the bacon.
• The dog will eat the bacon only, and leave the food in the bowl.
