    I had a golden retriever as a kid. He once are a whole pot roast then slept for like 12 hours. He also ate a neighbor’s chicken once. Took him 3 days to cough up the ribcage. I think it almost killed him, and I have no doubt he would have done it again given the opportunity.

      I slept alongside my first dog all night because he ate half a bag of Hershey kisses with the foil still on a bunch (making thumbprint cookies or whatever they are called). Turns out the foil didn’t bother him and there’s so little actual chocolate in kisses that he just had the shits for 3 days. I cried for hours.

      My bro-in-law lived with us before college. His husky has a thing where she wants to smell everything humans are about to eat but would never try to steal it.

      She got one of the neighbor’s chickens when it wandered into our backyard. Ever since then, chicken is the only food she will try to steal.

      If she doesn’t get to “smell-taste” she does all that typical husky drama.
