It doesn’t matter if it was a pet, a child, or someone else, just that you were taking care of them.

    dogs are scavengers and opportunist omnivores.

    some animals shit has nutrients. dogs love cat shit because it’s high in protein, as cats are carnivores and they don’t digest all the protein they consume so their shit is full of it. also why cat shit stinks way more than dog shit.

    they generally don’t consume other dogs shit or other low-value shit. cat shit is high value to a dog.

      Really? Cause I’ve seen several dogs just scarf down a steaming of shit at least 3 times. I’ve never seen a small dog chow down on a steaming pile of shit. So maybe it’s the medium sized dogs like a Labrador or an Irish Setter(the last one scarfed up shit like it was ice cream)

      Can confirm. Live in the country side, two outdoor cats and a dog. The dogs great, but he does not listen to me when he finds cat shit.

      But it is getting better. I don’t trust him alone, though.
