When Daisy feels that she has been left alone in the car too long, she looks around for stuff to punish me with. Last week she ate a pair of sunglasses. I noticed teeth marks on my wife's cell phone.

Earlier this year while I was in the library, Daisy ate the antenna off my cell phone. I couldn't find the phone, so I thought she had ingested it. But she had dropped it in the door pocket.

She has been pretty good, all in all. When she was a pup, the only thing she ate was my wife's silk flowers. Once she ate a feather duster. It looked like she had eaten a bird, with feathers sticking out of her mouth. Now she has a basket of toys that my wife gets inexpensively at yard sales. Most of them are still in pretty good shape. Daisy has a very soft mouth. When she caught a bobwhite quail last year, we took it out of her mouth and it ran off none the worse for wear.

Our older dog Annie, now in doggie heaven, ate nothing but items that were rope-like. Sometimes that was very inconvenient.

You are right about dogs being preferable to people. People are way too complex. Dogs have simple needs and if those needs are even halfway met, they are happy.
