Knowing what to eat is actually a very advanced function. There are humans that don't even know not to eat paste. Dogs that eat feces. Teenagers that eat TidePo

  It's my understanding that the dog isn't harmed by doing that, and it's just a way to recoup/find missing nutrients.

  >Dogs that eat feces. Yet another reason why it baffles me that anyone wants one of these things as a pet. Cats are smart enough not to eat feces, theirs or anyone else's. They're also smart enough to do their best to bury their own feces so they don't stink up your place.

In contrast to cats, these dog "things" can actually be very useful, and extremely loyal [1], working animals.
