    Our dogs will eat anything

    Several years ago I was curious about feeding our dogs bones and read some articles by wolf biologists. In particular, I read that one of the reasons that wolves can eat bones so readily is they also eat hide and hair and that helps keep bone fragments (they also ingest dirt, small stones and other things) from injuring them. As one of them said, their poop can be quite hairy.
