An older dog of ours ate tin cans. She also chrewed on rocks.

mine ate cans as a puppy, but now he has mastered opening tins and containers. he stole a tin of cookies (the good dutch butter ones), opened the tin without denting it and ate every cookie in it. he also takes the lids off coffee cups left sitting on a table and drinks the coffee. hes a very weird dog, but apparently very resourceful when it comes to getting what he wants. hes learned how to open the door, which made no sense since he has a doggie door big enough for ralphie may to get thru. i left a full bag of chips on the couch one night after watching movies with the kids. the next morning, it was on the floor in front of my bed, not a tear in it. he was laying next to it looking at me like "ya, i could have ate em." lol
 
oh, and in his 6 years he has devoured at least 11lbs of chocolate. kids leave it laying around, he gets it. one time he ate a pound of truffles that someone gave us as a gift, they were off the tv table before we got back from walking said gift giver out to their car. by the time we got out the back to look for the tin, it was open and truffles were snarfed.
 
in cushions, my husky rips a tiny tiny hole, and basically sucks the damn cotton out of the cushion...WTH!

It ends up on the floor luckily, she doesn't actually swallow all of it.

apples

my dog loves all veggies/fruits...When I am cooking, I always toss her some, she loves it...cauliflower, peppers, cucumber, apples, oranges, strawberries, etc.
 
When I hand clean my small fish ponds, my Great Dane will grab the algae and start eating it. He has also devoured a small bush.
 
Never had a dog myself... but my friend's dog (a keeshond I think) used to LOVE licking up dead bugs and spit off of the ground. No idea why.

the dog also ate a corn cob. the damage could not be rectified and eventually led to her demise :-(.

Eh? Corn on the cob can kill a dog? I give my dog corn on the cob all the time...he loves it. My two other dogs lived long ass lives eating it also.

EDIT: lol, I guess it can obstruct them...my dog shows no ill symptoms though. I'll prob give him less to chew on from now on.

yeah the cob clogged up her lower intestines and it was undetectable via x-ray so they couldn't figure out why she stopped eating and why she stopped going. by the time they figured it out too much damage had been done. :-(
 
my dog (begion frezie/poodle) ate a lizard, about 4 inches long, then puked it up on the floor, it was in two pieces and was very much identifiable
 
We have a pug that weighs about 13 pounds, and will eat anything. She's eaten about half a pound of M&M's, a box of see's chocolate, etc. Threw up about 14 times after the M&M's, but was otherwise fine. My wife has pulled an entire q-tip out her ass before. And she loves my wife's panties more than a Japanese business man. Only the worn ones, never the clean. We often come home to find a few pairs decimated in the living room, and there's usually some elastic pieces out in the back yard after they've passed.

Have a min-pin that ate a roll of Rollos. He also eats onions, lemons and pretty much anything dropped on the floor.

Have a lab that ate a bowl full of Reese's Mini PB cups. They were the pastel colored ones that come out at Easter. I couldn't figure out what happened to them until a few days later when I was scooping poo in the backyard and found glittery piles of poo.

Have another lab that likes to rip apart stuffed toys. She would start by slowly pulling off the eyes, ears, hands, feet and then commence to ripping out the innards of it. She doesn't get stuffed toys anymore.

I thought chocolate was poisonous to dogs?
 
lady bugs & bees.

Oddly enough, bugs seem to pass through a dog largely intact, even though none actually survive the ordeal.
 
our beagle actually caught and ate a rabbit once. we only knew when we saw her with a rabbit haunch in her jaws, and could not find the rest of the rabbit anywhere in our yard.
 
A while ago my mom's bike had handle grips speckled with all sorts of bright colors... white, red, yellow, and green, mainly. Someone else commented that it looked like their dog had eaten a bunch of crayons and thrown up.
 
my dog scarfs down dandelions like they are a fucking delicacy... He pukes them up 30 minutes later, but keeps doing it.... fucking dog.

Our dog has become an expert at surgically removing only the crotches of my GF's panties. Everything else stays but the crotches are done for. She also chews and attempts to eat pretty much anything that isn't nailed down. Recent things we have taken off of her include toothpaste, neosporin, pieces of wood that she ripped out from under our bed, rocks, pinecones, her own poop, our cat's poop (straight out the liter), etc.
 
An entire glass with some dried up cola on it. He crunched through the glass and kept eating it like it was some chips or something. I kept chasing him to try and get it out of his mouth, but he was a sneaky one. I was sure he would die. No blood in his mouth or stool. Lived for a couple years after that and had to be put down for unrelated reasons.
