In the seventies I had a little german shepard police dog which as many may know is basically a wolf that eats donuts. Her name was Molly Perkins and except for the few people she bit everybody loved her. Anyway we backpacked to upper Tyee Lake on the east side of the sierra and I neglected to bring any donuts. Well after a few days she understandably tired of the Gains burgers that I brought and started going crackers and whining. She normally was not the least bit picky and would eat just about anything and I thought that this time she really had swallowed a whistle.. One morning I went fishing and had landed a 8" monster trout that had swallowed the hook and when I tugged on the line the hook came out with the floating cheese (That's right sportsmen, cheese that floats!) bait still intact. I put the trout on the stringer and when I went back to my rod Molly had swallowed the bait and was giving me a sheepish look. When I saw what happened I was shocked and upset as I loved her with all my heart. This is where my now wife started going crackers and I of course thought that maybe she too had swallowed a whistle. Luckly I had about a quarter pound of cheese on the hook completly covering the barbs. This time when I tugged on the line (to set the hook!)about six feet (remember this is also a fishing story) of line came out with it! Was I ever relieved, I thought we were going to have to eat her! Another close call in the mountains.

I don't know what it was, but Indy got into something last summer when we were on a 4 day (shortened to 3 day) fishing/camping/hunting trip.
The island we were anchored by was too wet to set up camp near the shore, so we slept on the boat. The boat seemed big when I built it, but you put on 5 people, a 140# dog and gear for a week and it gets real small, real quick. My wife and kids were snuggled in the cuddy cabin, I was sleeping on the bunk in the pilot house, and indy was curled up next to me on the drop sole.
Around 1 am I am awakened to the sound of an impending dog hurl. I was foggy when I came to, so I didn't recognize the sound fast enough to open the door to the deck. After cleaning up his mess, I rowed him to shore, in the dark. He wandered off for a bit, then I rowed him back. He puked on the dinghy, he puked again on the boat. I rowed him back again and he was taking care of business. We shortened our trip by a day and headed back the next morning.
I think he just drank from a nasty pond on the island. I dunno what, but it was by far the worst thing he has ever eaten.

Worst thing? Um, well when I was 4 or 5 we found my dog running down the yard with my pet goat dead in its mouth. Don't recall if it tried to eat the goat or not. Fairly traumatic though. Does that count?

Last night I was clipping my toe nails. Benny came over and started sniffing. I held one out, then down the hatch. Am I a bad person?
He ate two more before we stopped him. My wife made him do tricks for the last one. Her stomach was hurting from laughing so much. Really, he is a very spoiled dog, a little high strung, which might explain the taste for nails.

An entire bottle of ibuprofen.
I had two dogs & had to treat them both not knowing if 1 or both did it. Neither suffered any long term damage but I think I lost at least 10 yrs of my life over it.

Four slices of pizza.
She was waiting my car during an epic marathon surf.
The only thing I wanted to come in for was that pizza.
Even worse, she only ate the toppings, leaving four triangles of crust. I may have even eaten them I was so hungry.
Her nickname became Little Caesar.

My dogs have eaten human poo.
Rubber gloves.
A couple of feet of rope (fun to pull out).
Couch cushions.
A deer (live).
Squirrels.
A beer can.
Most of my shoes.
A coffee table.
The worst was my friends dog Kuma.
Kuma ate a whole batch of 'special' brownies.
Kuma was in the hospital for a while.
Another friend had a dog who ate the interior of his car, effectively totaling it.
Another friends dog has a thing for chickens.
All these things happened while the dogs were pups though.
Nowadays, they don't eat anything they shouldn't, except horse poo.

The worst thing my dog ever ate, happened when I went out the front door and Kutya was playing with a toad in the grass. As I walked down the steps of the front porch she picked it up in her mouth. I yelled "Kutya, no!"....gulp...it was gone.
The very worst though was growing up, a neighbor across the street had a big St. Bernard named Barney. It was snowy and my younger sister was outside playing with Barney. She had on a pair of knitted mittens with a little bell sewn on the back. Barney pulled it off of her hand and swallowed it whole. A while later, we heard a tinkling sound and there was Barney, walking around with a little mitten hanging out of his rear end tinkling away. I swear this is true....you can't make that sh*t up!

Not my dog, but a friend's. He stole and ate a salami. Not just any salami but one of those one's where the casing is some sort of plastic you're supposed to peel off...
So the next day we're hiking up to the crags, the dog runs off to do it's business and when it comes back we notice that it has this long strip of plastic trailing out from his behind. His owner stepped on the end it as the dog ran away. Problem solved. I wanted to barf.

Our Standard Poodle Zeus ate an entire roast chicken, bones and all. Thought he might be a goner, but we got him to the vet immediately and they induced vomiting. They kept X-raying until all the bones were gone. The vet brought out a tray with everything that came up. Couldn't believe that it all fit in the first place.
