Also, it is delicious! It smells amazing and is out there just inviting your pup to inspect it. Dogs will eat all kinds of poop if exposed to it. It's always good to ask your vet if you suspect it is for more than just a treat just to be safe.

There are lots of reasons why a dog may be aggressive toward an individual. Is your dog a rescue? It's possible that in the past they were abused by someone who looks like the person walking by. Is it only men or only women that they bark at? Sometimes dogs have a fear of one or the other because of past events as well. Or perhaps they are picking up on something. You may become nervous or tense when you see a person walking by and the dog picks up on it and reacts. It could simply have been a coincidence the first time and you are doing it unconsciously now because you are afraid your dog will misbehave. Dogs are very sensitive to their humans' feelings and sometimes can pick up on signals we don't even know we are sending. One thing to try, in this case, is distraction. If you can spot the person before your dog does, engage them in a favorite game or have a treat handy to practice some tricks. If you don't feel stressed, it's easier to keep your dog calm as well. Doing something familiar and engaging for a few times may be enough to break the cycle. If this doesn't work, you may have to engage an African American friend to introduce positive interactions with your dog. Good luck!

Unfortunately what smells good to us, and what smells good to a dog are not often the same! To a dog that poopy diaper is just an interesting smelling item that must be investigated with his mouth. And if it's as good as it smells (to them!) then it's going to get eaten! It's best to keep them in a sealed container so your pup isn't even tempted!
