Dogs make the choice of what to eat on what tastes good to them. They have no concept if a substance is harmful or poisonous. However, dogs can expel rotten or toxic substances more quickly from their digestive systems than we can since their vomiting reflex is quicker than ours. The less time a substance stays in the system, the less chance it has to create ill effects.
