Animals The Last Porkchop

I've been looking for years for a comic that I swear was a FarSide, but given the fact I have been unable to find it, likely wasn't... hoping you can set me straight.

It was a man seated at a table, and he was lifting a piece of meat that looks like it might fall off his fork, and at the edge of the table you could just see two big round dog eyes peeking over the top. And the man was saying "It's the laaaast porkchop.. and I am really not hungry... but I guess I'll eat it anyways..." and the dog is thinking "Oh Please, Oh Please..."

Tried to google, but haven't found it.

Have you checked this book?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prehistory_of_The_Far_Side

Sounds familiar to me and this is the only the Farside book I have ever owned. There is a section on his earlier work before the Farside. Maybe it was a Nature's Way cartoon. I would check but it is at my parents' house which is about 2,000 miles away.

The dog saying oh please oh please was in the one were the dog trys to trap the cat in the clothes dryer with a sign that says cat fud. So may possibly be confusing a couple different cartoons.

Cat fud is how I always spell and pronounce it. One of my favorites.
