Seems like the perfect month to celebrate the Human-Animal Bond. And why the science says a pet is a great prescription for better human health. They even have a whole commercial for this medication.

Thongs, couches and light bulbs: Crazy things dogs will eat
Lulu once ate (or tried to eat) a burrito full of ants.
I was walking her in my old apartment complex. Now normally, I try to keep a weather eye out to make sure Lulu doesn't get anything she's not supposed to. But I missed this burrito. She grabbed it before I had the chance. And then she dropped it, scrunched up her nose and pawed at her mouth as a million ants poured out of the wrap.
I wish I could say that ended her habit of grabbing things off the sidewalk.
Now, we've all heard of dogs eating crazy things. Lulu and Jasmine have never really strayed from food, and cat poop -- including cat poop left by outdoor cats. SO GROSS!
I remember a story about a beagle in the Tampa area that ate money.
This dog apparently ate stone -- 109 stones, to be precise! Vets have the Xrays to prove it!
Sometimes dogs eat strange things because of a mineral deficiency, or pica. But some experts think dogs mouth objects out of curiosity. It may be a behavioral issue too. Here's some more info on that from VetStreet.
I asked our friends on Facebook and Twitter what the weird items their dogs ate were. And here are some of the responses.
