A little treat to keep your "best friend" happy!

• 1/4 cup hot tap water
• 8 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1-1/2 cups tomato juice
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups wheat germ
• 2 cups whole-wheat flour

1. Pour the water into a large bowl. Add the chicken cubes & crush them with a fork. Stir in the yeast & sugar & let stand for about 5 minutes.

2. Stir in the tomato juice, 1 cp all-purpose flour & the wheat germ. Stir with a large spoon to form a smooth batter. Then stir in the remaining all-purpose & whole-wheat flours. This will make the dough very dry & stiff.

3. Take a couple of handfuls of dough out & work into a small ball shape. Then, with a rolling pin, flatten the balls on a lightly floured surface. Cut with our dogbone cutters. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

4. Now use a cookie cutter to cut out your dog treats.

5. Finally, use a spatula to put your dog treats onto a cookie sheet. Then bake at 325° for 20-30 minutes.

6. Serve with a bowl of water & a nice big bone!
