I have given our dog high value chew treats when my husband and I have been watching basketball before only to see her proceed to try to "dig" under one of our bottoms and attempt to shove the treat underneath and rake the couch covers over it with her nose. I guess she figures if her lazy humans are going to sit their asses on the couch she might as well make use of them.
