The grandkids feed him green beans, carrots, peas, okra, any veggie they would currently not care for.

Mastiffs will truly eat nearly anything. I keep him away from most fruit, as grapes (and raisins) are poisonous to dogs. He eats a bite or two of grass in the yard.

But when he is fed, twice a day, it's meat.

When they are puppies, they will eat gravel/small rocks, so you have to watch out for that.

Honestly, this was a joke, at least it started out that way. When did we get so serious about the diet of dogs? As I said, he likes cheap burgers. Once a month or so, he gets them for treats.

We have a NewfieX that ate stones when he was small, you could hear them rattling in his belly. The vet said not to worry, he'd outgrow it and he did, but we worried anyway and gave him mineral oil.

Ours also eat carrots, and the diabetic dog has survived 5 years now on lean meat, brocolli, cabbage, (cooked), baked yams, and a few other items. We bake them chicken regularly and feed a high quality dog food.
