    I’ve got a great dog. I say, “Whatchou got?” and she immediately drops whatever it is.

    My younger dog is getting there.

    The trick is training them by usually giving the thing back or giving them a rewarding treat in its place, and always praising.

    Cute comic, though.

    Candy bar wrapper from the counter top after the owner forgot to put it in the garbage. Forbidden chocolate flavour with very little danger of poisoning.

    Which is not to say the dog knows this. It would have had the candy bar too given half a chance.

    Was on a walk with my dog one time and I noticed that they were having trouble with something in their mouth. It seemed to be stuck to the roof of their mouth and they weren’t able to get it free. So I had to stick my hand in there (on a walk so nothing to cover my hand) and pluck it out having no idea what it could be. Turned out to be a bagel. My dog has been addicted to carbs ever since and I’ll give her a few bites of pizza crust now and then.

    My dog wolfed (pun intended) down half a 6" sub. We took her to the vet because onions, and they came up front cackling because she hurked up an entire tomato slice. No chewing. Just vacuum.

    Dog tax!

    • Small piece of glass
    • Small shard of clay pot
    • A piece of brick
    • Looong piece of string, 90% swallowed
    • A hardware bolt
    • Waffle house scraps from trash
    • Entire fast food burger
    • Entire bar of 80% dark chocolate (the only one that required a vet immediately)
    • Sometimes his own face hair, still attached… just nomming it a bit

    …just off the top of my head from my own experience, you just never know

      crazy how different these lists can be. mine is more like:

      • rabbit poop

      • their own poop from an hour ago

      • my flowers (leaves or buds) that I’ve been working very hard to grow

      • window blinds

      • a dead bird of unknown origin

      • string lights

      • nothing, just smacking their lips

      • a bug

      • a fly

      • a piece of dog hair fluff, unclear if it’s just attached and they can’t get it off or if they mean to chew on it
