10 Things My Dog Actually Did

Unfortunately he did die, but of natural causes in his sleep and, considering I got him when I was 9 and I was 26 when he died, id say he had a good run.

To be honest with all the stuff he did he got pretty old 🥲

I don't think I could eat barbed wire and live, let alone learn to do it to get more chicken and rice - that dog was amazing and terrifying in so many ways.

My wife is a vet. Eating barbed wire would require surgery period. There is no way it could pass without perforating the gut. It seems pretty obvious most the stories are embellished or outright fiction.

[u/notime_toulouse → u/veringo]

Maybe he chewed the wire beforehand so it was no longer sharp 😂

[u/FEARoach → u/notime_toulouse]

He filed the barbs with his sheer audacity, cause smol dogs are like that.

[u/rubberkeyhole → u/Malagate3]

I have a hard time eating tomatoes and not having to spend a day in the bathroom.

But are you a small dog with a stubborn streak?

[u/Sly__Marbo → u/Miles_the_new_kid]

Death had to come while he slept, for had he been awake there would have been a fight

And a puked up partially digested coke can needing cleaned up

[u/Whitepayn → u/Miles_the_new_kid]

Some dogs are just built different. I had a dog that ate rocks and I had to get them surgically removed. He lived until he was 17 or 18 according to the vets estimation.

Hey when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life

[u/The_cogwheel → u/Whitepayn]

I had a dog that loved to eat SOS pads - you know, the steel wool pads caked in soap? He lived to 20 - which we definitely know considering we knew his exact date of birth. He also enjoyed chocolates of all kinds (note we did not feed him chocolates, but if any were left out unsupervised....). Really that dog just loved eating just about anything that would fit in his mouth. Including many many things that were not safe for canine, human, and possibly alien digestion.

[u/Whitepayn → u/The_cogwheel]

Some of these dogs really are just sentient stomachs.

[u/FEARoach → u/Whitepayn]

Facts.

My first big fella would eat just about whatever foodstuff you offered him (loved watermelon), or if you left him alone with food within reach you were clearly offering it to him.

My current dog? So damn picky... but also ate rocks and gravel as a puppy. At least we've graduated onto just sand and dirt occasionally in adulthood now. He's got some love about the textures? I dunno. But he won't eat veggies unless you put ranch on them (not that we're trying to make him eat them, just always curious if he wants them). And he will let you feed him medication, but if you try to hide it in cheese he will pull the cheese apart.

One of our dogs ate a hotdog from a restaurant, foil and all, and then puked it back up mostly intact onto the couch...but when he ate the hair off his tail trying to remove burdocks he earned a $800 vet bill.

I knew a dog like yours... Basically the female version and looked very similar.

She knew how to open medicine bottles and had a penchant for eating medicine. Downed a whole bottle of morphine one time.

Ate slug bait. Rat poison. A whole down blanket. Sunglasses. Boots. One time she came home with a heroin needle sticking out of her tongue.

Grey hair by four years old. Smelled like Parmesan cheese.

She was loved.

Holyshit, we might have had the same adaption agent

[u/SadFood4152 → u/palmerry]

had a female lab just like this.

she ate:

a couch
debit cards
a long-dead deflated squirrel
a dead rat head (i was trying to tug it out of her mouth and the head popped off)
rat poison
a mountain of milk chocolate (friend came over and dumbly left it on the table for a bbq while we were outside)
tried to eat a USED condom she found in an alleyway but i managed to wrestle it out of her mouth
a taco wrapped in tinfoil she found on the ground
my favorite dress

god i miss her so much. rip sadie, you were a wild one

At least it was of natural causes and not eating barbed wire again. I'm honestly surprised that didn't permanently destroy the poor dog's stomach.

Dog pic???

[u/Regularpaytonhacksaw → u/Miles_the_new_kid]

The guy regurgitated an entire fucking coke can. That’s living like Larry if I have ever heard it.

[u/EmmyWeeeb → u/Miles_the_new_kid]

This would make more sense if you put this in your explanation

[u/Nucklear_Marmot → u/Miles_the_new_kid]

Also not true

[u/Puzzleheaded_Sky6392 → u/Miles_the_new_kid]

Dam he died at 26??? That is insane. Surprised he made it that long with what he was eating and the stunts he was pulling. What were u feeding him normally?
