I have a Basset Hound named Rufus.

He is a drooling, f*rting piece of furniture. He does have a tendency to eat underwear. Not chew it. Not shred it. He swallows it whole. We've never actually caught him in the act, but we discover the barfed up evidence about a week after he eats them.

He is only motivated to move when he wants to eat or relieve himself.

He is wonderfully lovable and docile. The only time you have to worry is if you are trying to take food away from him. Anyone other than me would draw back a stump.

Uhm, you might want to take action to prevent that. Intestinal blockage can be an extremely serious as well as deadly matter:

If the blockage interferes with the flow of blood to the bowel, intestinal strangulation will occur, and the bowel will start to rot within a few hours. Abdominal x-rays are needed to properly diagnose the cause of distress and locate the blockage. Surgical removal of the blockage is required immediately, and the rotting bowel must be resected to the living bowel.

It's a lot simpler (and cheaper) to pick up underwear.
