Dogs are descended from wolves.

In the wild wolves very frequently dine on vegetable matter - mostly from the gut content of the herbivores they kill.

I grew up on a farm with a Great Dane. He ate dog food as only a small part of his diet which included..... deer carcases with the guts and vegetable matter (he could chew through an entire skeleton in less than a week), fruits including apples, “road apples” i.e. horse dung, grasses and shrubberies, and various critters both large and small. He ate EVERYTHING. He put the OMNI in omnivore.

He was of course a carnivore - but almost all carnivores in the wild dine on the gut content of their prey.
