One day the dog will get tired of broccoli and eat her/him/it.
Dogs are omnivores, and can digest plants. This doesn’t mean that they can stay healthy on an exclusively vegan diet.
Did you watch the video? The dog is offered a plate of broccoli and a plate of meat based dog food. The dog ignores the broccoli and wolfs down the meat. Twice. It could be a set up, or a friend might have been taping the demonstration of canine vegetarianism and couldn’t resist the temptation to post it.
Back when we still had the fair in town, we saw a starving Doberman roaming the grounds, snatching up whatever food scraps he could find and rummaging in trash cans.
He “belonged” to some hippie carnies and they said he was a “vegetarian” and very happy.
When he took off for another round of scavenging, we bought him cheeseburgers and hot dogs and he inhaled them.
We kept some of the bits and abandoned our fair plans and headed out for the exit gate, dog following behind.
We were *thisclose* to saving him when the male hippie called the dog and the poor loyal thing obeyed.
The state cop stationed at the gate, watching all this was visibly disappointed and looked as heartbroken as we were.
Dirty, filthy, stinking, animal torturing hippies.
It’s been almost 27 years and I still think of that dog.
Oh God..and that poor dog is a Dobe mix.

I remember, about forty years ago, some vegans raised their dogs on a vegan diet.
One day while they were gone, the dogs got out, and killed several goats, devouring them.
And the vegans were in agony as to what they did wrong to make their dogs meat eaters.
As I’ve said in the past, all vegetarian (prey) animals have their eyes on the side of their head so they can watch for predators stalking them.
All MEAT EATERS(Predators)have their eyes on the front of their heads to get a 3-D view of their PREY when they stalk them.
Where are YOUR EYES located?
