Y'all ever see a dog (retriever) obsessed with eating bbq charcoal? Whenever we walk past the smokey joe, he stops by the drip pan for a snack, but it's not the fat, it's the charcoals he eats. I have to clean it every time and hide it.

My labs will tear into a bag of charcoal and snack on them like pretzels.

Never had any eat charcoal but a female lab would chew, rip, shred a beer can and never cut his mouth. Chew a golf ball up and play with the core of rubber bands. Rip a pine cone of any size or color and peel each scale one by one.

I'll do you one better, I recently dug some holes for posts and had to fuss at my dog for eating the dirt I was getting out! Anybody ever see that one?

Pretty common for dogs to eat dirt, it’s how they end up with worms usually.
My beagle/doxie cross basically wants to tear up anything he thinks will give me a heart attack, the worst of which has been a pack of razor blade heads, I have no idea how he didn’t cut himself during that one.

My neighbors lab would eat his sprinkler heads and $hit chunks of plastic.

Damn dog was worthless in the rice fields and the back yard.

When burning limbs, etc my jack russell will eat the ashes. Must be getting needed minerals or nutrients.

Dogs need to be run daily with their owners. They do stupid shite if they don’t get exercise.

Especially hunting breeds.

I had a beagle that enjoyed live shrimp right out of the cast net. Any that didn't make it into the bucket got snapped up with the quickness.
