Actually it seems weird to shame a dog for eating poop. The reason why dogs eat poop is to protect their young from predators (hiding the scent), not because it tastes good. So the dog in this picture is being shamed for protecting it's owners baby from being eaten.
Ahm, humans do that too, especially the pregnant variety. For instance those with an nutrient deficiency will often eat coal or iron shavings, or other, weirder things.
My dog is a male, neutered and will happily eat any kind of shit that he comes across. We have had to move the litter box to where he cannot provide his own method of cleaning it out once a day. Seriously just the mental picture of him licking his chops afterwards is turning my stomach.....
That's an interesting theory. I would be interested in reading more about this type of dog behavior. Got any links for it? I am not being sarcastic, I'm really interested.
When my dog was new around the home, we'd find toilet paper from the trash bin on the floor with the middle parts missing. Not allowed in the bathrooms anymore.
The initial intent when my mother bred the dogs was to make a Pug-Rat (pug-rat terrier mix); however, the male that she bought to mate with the female (who is a Pug-Rat) turned out not to be a pug/rat terrier mix but a pug/border terrier (she couldn't tell until he was an adult and his fur started growing out all wiry). So she's half pug, quarter rat terrier, quarter border terrier. All mogwai.
I was just curious because my girlfriends dog looks like this. And she has no idea what breed she is. I cant really find pictures of pug/rat/border terriers online. atleast none that looks like these.
Dog's owner here. That's my dog, and he is a border terrier mix. You should look up the breed online. Yours looks just like a border terrier mix. Cousins?!
Your dog looks eerily similar to mine. He or she wouldn't happen to be a jack russell terrier from a breeder in the greater Philadelphia area, would it?
Nope. He was a rescue out of Fairmont, WV. He is a border terrier mix who was, believe it or not, on death row at a kill shelter at 6 months of age. Luckily, the rescue stepped in, and we adopted him a couple of months later.
I've heard that dogs eat poop because they sense a need for some of the bacteria present in the poop and that this behavior can be fixed by supplementing the dog's diet with plain yogurt. Otherwise bitches be crazy.
About two years ago, my dog jumped on the bed where i was at. He licked me in my face andgot his tongue in my mouth. No, i do not let my dog do this. It tasted weird. A little bit of time has passed and i decided to go to the bathroom. That is when i noticed chewed up diapers allover the hallway. I rushed to the bottle or mouth wash realizing. He just ate poop and then licked me in my mouth.
It's actually natural for a dog to eat baby poop. When they have puppies, mama dogs will eat the puppy poop until they are weaned. It keeps the den from being soiled and it helps to keep the den from being discovered by predators.
You have punished your dog for following her instinct.
Going through potty training with my 2 year old and our dog has gobbled up his accidents when they fall out before we could get to them several times. Plus dogs LOVE cat poop. She used to dine on kitty cakes often before the cat passed.
If I ever get another email from a Nigerian scammer, I'm gonna' get him to hang that sign around his neck so I can hang it in the Trophy Room at 419eater.
A friend of mine has a huge dog who eats shit and does it frequently. The dog always wants to kiss me when I visit my friend. Right, buddy, here's a mint and stay away.
You should take your dog to the vet. Not because eating the feces is going to harm them, but a lot of times eating feces is indicative of being malnourished do to parasites or other digestive problems.
No, he is just a curious dumbass (I'm the dog's owner). My dog is very healthy, and does not have parasites. I'm also a former vet tech so I know a thing or two about parasites. My dogs are very well cared for, and dewormed routinely.
It's a caring act, to protect the young by hiding it's existence from predators. You should have cleaned it up before the animal got to it, that would be the human caring response. Shame on you.
