I wonder if he has emotional problems? I wonder if he feels neglected? I am not joking.
And the owner thought it was the dryer that was eating the socks.
Maybe he thought he was eating Clinton’s cat.

Usually, it’s the dryer that eats your socks... Did the owners not have any curiosity as to where all of their socks were going?
Off topic, but one day watching “Dogs 101” I was surprised to learn that Great Danes have a life expectancy of only about 6 or 7 years.
Without a wife?? Not even allowed.
Mama done tole you not to leave no socks onna floor.
We had a cat once - we named him Chewy after the character in Star Wars but it turned out to be prophetic. H loved Mr. Mercat’s socks, the black synthetic kind you wear with dress shoes. He had to have one in his food bowl to chew on before he would eat. I figured it was a thing he had with being weaned too early. We fought him and kept taking the sock and then he would get another one. It took us way too long to figure out that we should just give him a sock to chew on and replace it when it got too holy and funky. Otherwise there were little chewy holes in all his socks. He never ate the whole sock however.
If they had not done the gastrotomy, that dog would have really been “hosed”.
Finally! scientific proof that answers the age-old question of the missing socks!
Woof!
Maybe someone should put their clothes in a hamper.
I know of this dog! He’s been in my laundry room, I’m certain.
Our boerboel mastiff pup managed to swallow several scarves, a few socks, and many crayons. Even a tug-toy rope. We watched him like a hawk and kept stuff out of reach, gave him lots of love, exercise, and appropriate chew toys, and it still happened on occasion. Kids leave stuff around. Scarves hang down and get pulled off hooks. It happens. Induced vomiting every single time (except for the crayons- those just added some pizazz to the many “yard ornaments” he’d leave daily) and retrieved everything. I think he finally associated those types of items with vomiting and quit sneaking off with them. A bonus, besides not having to have retrieval surgeries.
This poor Great Dane needs better supervision. There’s no excuse for that many socks disappearing and no one seeing it happen, or noticing and reacting immediately. Unless there’s an all-you-can-eat sock buffet for dogs I’m not aware of in Portland.
at least he didn’t eat underwear.
One of our dogs ate a red balloon. We didn’t know it until it started coming out of the dogs butt.......... inflated. That was weird.
OMG! I saw this on TV today. What a stash of socks!
