Dogs seem to have had a common ancestor with wolves.
Humans have lost the ability to make vitamin C in their bodies in the process of evolution, so if you don't eat vegetables and fruits and lack vitamin C, you will get a terrible illness called scurvy. And in severe cases, your body will collapse, your mind will be damaged and eventually your brain will be destroyed.
However, we dogs and wolves can make vitamin C in our bodies, so we don't suffer from scurvy even without eating vegetables and fruits.
When you go to a zoo and see the food in the wolf cage, you’ll find lettuce salad is not included.
But barley, a salad plant for dogs and cats, is sold at some pet stores. I haven’t eaten pet salad, but, so far, I’ve never gotten sick just because I haven't eaten salad!
That doesn't mean I don't eat vegetables at all! During a walk, I sometimes bite on nearby wild grass while I’m resting on the lawn. I taste wild grass in my mouth, holding it in my mouth. However, I don't swallow much, so I don't think it's nutritious.
Ms. Merci chewing wild grass with her teeth
Ms. Merci holding wild grass
Ms. Merci pulling wild grass with her mouth
Ms. Merci pulling wild grass to the fullest
Ms. Merci rubbing her head on the wild grass
