Canines are carnivores.
They need protein.
They will eat almost anything but they need protein.
Cereal based food is not good for them.
My dufus will eat chili peppers or onions, but he craves meat, particularly fish.
He likes birds too.
I think he likes squirrels but he has never caught one yet LOL

Onions can be toxic to dogs, there’s a chemical in it which can lead to kidney failure.

My BC has on numerous occasions herded squirrels. She never tries to actually catch them. She just gets between them and the tree they are going for, and they have to turn around and go in another direction, and she gets in front of them again. After a bit of this, the very flummoxed squirrel eventually gets to and up a tree.

The local squirrels learned to head up the nearest tree as soon as they saw her.

Alas, she is getting a little long in the tooth now (she's 12) and can't quite mange this trick anymore. Still chases and barks at them, though.
