I would recognise human poo! funny enough I seen it before, but must say I dont see it very often in the countryside but I have seen it. I think the reason dogs eat many species of poo is their is undigested food in it and valuable protien, would advise you brush their teeth afterwards though.

Scientists on the British Arctic Survey in 1957 found that the sled-dogs were eating the human poo. They carried out tests to see what nutritional benefit the dogs were getting from it. They weren't getting any. The dogs seemed simply to like the taste!

my dog does exactly the same thing. i cant stop him even if i feed him before going out, so i dont take him to the poo-ey corner of the park anymore. but yes brush his teeth rinse and his mouth with water.

I know its human because a, its accompanied by toilet paper and b, one time he did it i saw the dirty old rambler who deposited it emerege from the bushes just before my dog scoffed it. I'm telling you these ramblers as soon as they get out of the car and get a whiff of country air, the first thing they do is run for cover and lay cable.

Heathfield is that true? This isn't another 10cm spiders that jump in your mouth and suffocate you story is it? I could totally see dogs eating human poo, no trouble though!! Man best friend indeed!
