Then you need better tasting dirt!

Oso Dirto.

I understand that aged bones taste better. Of course, a dog told me that. I have no direct experience in these matters.

“Domestic dogs’ ancestors, including wild dogs and the gray wolf, lived on a “feast or famine” diet. (Modern wolves still live on this diet.) While they may need meat every day, they don’t always find it. So, when they do, they will feast and gorge themselves because they know they may not have another meal for a couple of days. This also means they don’t want to waste food by leaving any extra that can’t fit into their bellies immediately. Instead, they bury the food in the dirt. This helps the meat last longer, as the dirt protects it from the sun, which causes meat to go rancid quickly. The wolf can then return to that treasure spot and dig up the meat when hunting is scarce, and he is in need of a meal. Think of it as the wolf’s pantry…” Taken from an AKC article in their September 2018 newsletter.

It’s fermenting!

Because they won’t bury themselves. :)

Needs beer. burp. :)
