Our dogs can eat from forks

Our dogs can eat from forks. It took a little practise to not grip the fork with their teeth, but now they are experts, better than some humans I've observed, who sometimes seem not to know where their mouth is. The dogs are dainty when presented with a tasty morsal, and will carefully accept it with their lips drawn back. Similarly, they can also pick their own wild fruits like blackberries, once shown where they come from, and with a couple of demonstration pickings which they eagerly accepted, they were away finding their own. In the wild, their mother would have shown them things like that, or perhaps an older pack member.

The fork expertise doubtless helps. Many people assume that dogs' diets should consist of meat and nothing much else, despite being renowned for clearing up just about any food dropped or leftover. They are true omnivores, they love fruit and vegetables as much as meat, and spices, while not necessarily being good for their digestion, are eaten with obvious lip-smacking pleasure. Cake, bread, peelings, nuts, ice cream, the perfect survivor will eat it all. They will even eat the odd fly or mosquito which happens by, and spiders are a delicacy involving a quick 'hunt'.

They might occasionally eat cow shit as well, but this is nothing but chopped up, mildly fermented grass, and doesn't appear to do them any harm, despite giving them bad breath for a while. It suggests to me that canines will survive, no matter what happens to the human society which these domesticated wolves appear to depend on so heavily. One day they will inherit the Earth.
