[@Alfakkin]

Lagotto is a beautiful dog 😍❤️🐕

[@suzyQ1999]

How much was that piece worth?

[@tonyarichards5430]

It’s obvious I’ll never eat one. Lol

[@scoremat]

Coll dog... that's a working dog

[@stayrospaparunas3062]

Truffles ve many kinds,some truffles cost 15.000$ the grammar

[@TheSatiric]

You have to pronounce romagnolo like romañolo is like lasagna

[@readynow12345]

No fun without mentioning how much that truffle cost at the end.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

Looked to be about an ounce in weight, so depending upon how much the restaurant owner was prepared to pay, probably between $70 to $120, but that's merely speculation of course.

[@justmee9441]

"3000 per lb"

[@thabigshow69]

Keep the go pro on the dog .u may get some good film of dog bein eaten by a sasquatch

[@nubbyrose87]

Does she get permission from the property owner?

[@BadassBikerOwns]

Don't you guys have public property in the US? Why is it that the first thing that came to your mind when you look at a forest like this is, who owns it?

[@Verenzoo]

@@BadassBikerOwns 1:32, "heading out to private woods"

[@b_uppy]

No, sorry. The dog can only speak 'dog'.

[@HercadosP]

Considering they explicitly mentioned it was private, I would assume either she knows the owner or the restaurant owner also owns that patch of forest

[@tonyarichards5430]

You can’t harvest stuff from National Park land so it must be private land and I’m absolutely positive she has permission to be there and with a camera crew no less.
