Question about dogs

[DrPizza]

Why is it that dogs love to rip open garbage bags to get to whatever's inside, but they won't rip into a bag of dog food if someone forgets to feed them??

Garbage usually contains scents of meat, or other appetizing smells.

Cause the dog food smells like dog food - they know what that is. A garbage bag smells different, and is interesting. It's not labeled, either.

When there is a wrapped gift box you tear it open, but if it's a box out in the garage you look the other way.

What makes you think dogs like eating "dogfood" ?

My dog doesn't care about food, only wants to play with the ball/frisbee.
