        Aren’t sweets like really bad for dogs?

        Edit: Don’t hate me, I was just asking a question. I know nothing about dogs.

            Yeah it took me like ten seconds of confusions to understand what about a pie was being considered sweet. And then ohhhhh maybe they thought it meant a FRUIT pie?

            “A pie” is a meat pie around here

          My dog would occasionally get into a bag of Hershey kisses, he lived to be 18 years old

            my wife’s childhood dog - schnauzer mutt - ate an entire basket of chocolates and sweets that was from valentine’s day. like multiple pounds of assorted fancy chocolate. lived for another 10 years (this was the 80s, I don’t think people grokked the choc / dog thing).

            Around 2009 a neighbor lost their pyranese (sp? long haired tall dog) when it ate a single chocolate bar (it was dark and high cacao whole foods stuff). It was just dead when they got home from work, apparently ate it the night before.

            seems like a bad gamble to make. but holy hell I can’t keep my dogs from eating random biohazards, dead birds, snails & slugs and god knows what, it’s a miracle they survive as long as they do.
