Yup, Labs are just a stomach with a search-and-retrieve function.

Mine will eat ANYthing remotely resembling food. She's pretty good about not eating non-food items, although she does chew the tags and any other protruding small appendages off her soft toys. Fortunately she doesn't swallow the bits, she leaves them lying around . . . she just chewed the eyeballs off her stuffed lizard, I found two little mournful eyes staring up at me from the living room floor. I sewed up the holes and made the little reptile black "X"s for his eyes.

LOL, well put. Ours has calmed down some in her old age (she'll be 13 in April, is still hanging in there) but every so often she'll go on a naughty bender where she'll repeatedly beg to go out then do nothing but chow down on the birdseed that has fallen down under the feeder.
It makes us irate because she had laryngeal paralysis surgery last March and is now in lifelong danger of aspirating stuff, and we DON'T want her eating small dry stuff like birdseed. She's particularly fond of the cracked corn that the birds don't like and so kick out of the feeder.

LOL, love the Xs. Dead lizard...
