DOGS ARE DUMB. Recently I decided to “eat healthy” and - knowing I don’t care for wheat bread - switched to multi-grain white bread. It tastes like well-used shoe leather; not even great globs of butter, jam, mayo, or mustard can disguise the taste.

So ... I dried it, crumbled it up, and put it out in the back yard feeder for the deer, squirrels, and birds. They wouldn’t eat it either.

But the neighbor’s dog did.
