'on the whole' means all things considered eg. on the whole it's a good shop.
'...filled the whole boot...' would have been correct.

It's a dogzilla biscuit!

I know. I love our baking powder biscuits, still hot, cut through the middle, and spread with butter. I wonder what the British call the things we Americans call biscuits.
