Author here: I did a quick experiment with my Greyhound, Bebop, to figure out the treat he prefers best using pair-wise comparison analyzed with the Bradley-Terry model. Same tech as Elo scores in chess, and several other places! Enjoy!

I missed the word "Treat" in the title initially and I was incensed. All dogs are the best dog TYVM.

> Bebop remains highly committed to the scientific process.

For a ham and egg breakfast the chicken is interested and the pig is committed. Please make sure that Bebop remains only interested in this experiment.

The best dog treat is always the treat the OTHER dog is eating.
