Thanks, luv...I did not know who the owners were..that dog must have lived at least a half a mile away as I heard the howls as they diminished in the distance ...
The hot sauce didn't do any damage to the dog but it was convinced that my garbage was mighty unpleasant, and never bothered it again.
It must have eaten a ton of chicken bones it got through the holes it bit in my tough paper garbage bags over time.
I asked an animal scientist...
He said birds and rabbits and mice are natural diet for the dogs ancestors..they are full of bones..He said look at the teeth in a dogs head and said that dogs are not stupid, and they can crush bones much better than we can. J
