But please don’t give it to our dogs! Helen and I have discovered through bitter experience that dead fish does terrible things to the digestive systems of our two dogs. It’s strange because I’ve seen both of them yum down the most thoroughly disgusting things imaginable with great enthusiasm and apparently suffer no ill effects, but rotting fish just doesn’t suit them at all.
But what I would like to know is why they don’t learn from their experiences. When Dan sniffed out the fish in the picture above he immediately tried to eat it and Shep fancied it too. It was just pure luck that I was close enough to drag them away before any of it was ingested. So I put their leads on and took them well away before letting them off again. Dogs aren’t very smart, are they!
I think it’s a type of dogfish in the picture.
Cheers, Tom.
