9. Poopsicles...my dog likes them too
Although now that spring is here, he's taken to eating them warm and even seems to enjoy them more... Maybe it's like cheese or chocolate; the flavor becomes more robust at or above room temp? :shrug:

...a dog that uses the toilet and feeds itself. Then you can plan long trips without all the hassle.

11. Dogs have US HUMANS to do stuff like that for them.
