Exactly. The problem with Greenies is that people hear a story or two about an over eager dog who swallowed a big piece. Of course it's only 85-90% digestable at that point. The logical thing to do would be to really research the so-called "horror stories" and see if they're valid and figure out the circumstances. Dogs choke on their food and toys everyday. We don't hear about those "other" deaths, but we do hear about the three dogs who gulped their Greenies. Frankly, it pisses me off. If you search on this forum, you'll find about 3 dozen threads of people over-reporting the Greenie stories and messing up the details. It makes everyone paranoid. I'm not one who likes to live my life in fear, so I don't believe everything I read and look into it myself.
