RD５月号のLife's Like Thatからです。
I went to collect my dog Sam from an operation. He'd had a general anaesthetic and when the veterinary nurse brought him through to the waiting room, she was concerned he was still a little wobbly.
"He may not want to eat right now," she said. "Keep his meals light and perhaps tempt him with a little fish or chicken." There was a thud. We turned to see Sam wolf down the entire contents of an ashtray.
犬の話なのに "wolf down" とはこれ如何に？そこで "wolf down" を辞書で引きます。
Dictionary.com: eat hastily; "The teenager wolfed down the pizza."
人間にも言えるのですね。説明が余りにも簡単で味気ないので別の辞書も見ました。
Wiktionary: To consume (food) quickly and without regard for table manners.
He wolfed down a ham sandwich.
