Let's just put it out there, I work for a dog food company. I know it's not glamorous or career-day material, but it puts food on the table. Human food, not dog food. I may not have the best pay or do the most exciting work, but let me tell you, I have quite the story from my job.
This woman called me the other day and asked me what poultry by-products are. Not too unusual a question for a dog food company. However, she continued to tell me how she is eating dog food. Yes, eating dog food. She said she was curious as to what it tasted like. I don't know if I've ever been that curious about anything before.
As she was telling me how these dog foods tasted, I got a little more interested. I've worked for Purina for ten years now and I've never tasted any. I could probably even get some dog food to try out for free, being an employee and all. Maybe I should give it a try. I'm selling this food for other living things to eat, so it must be edible, technically. Then she told me about the Mighty Dog Premium Entree with Bone Marrow. I don't think trying out the dog food for myself is a good idea anymore.
Then I thought about this lady's dog. The poor little thing, just sitting on the floor waiting for his owner to possibly drop a piece of his own dog food for him to gobble up. Just watching this woman eat all these different flavored dog foods right in front of him without giving a little taste to him.... On the bright side, maybe they can eat their dog food together now.
