Very interesting indeed!

A quote from that site:

Canine predators consume the intestinal tract of large herbivores, which contains plant material. Both coyotes and wolves have been observed eating plants; fruits, berries, persimmons, mushrooms, and melons in the wild. Similarly, our dogs have anatomical and physiological characteristics that permit the digestion and utilization of a widely varied diet from both plant and animal sources.

Thank you for sharing! I had read about this and still, they tend to consume high protein in the wild along with the GI tract contents.

I am not trying to disagree with you just that there is not one absolute answer. Every individual has different ideas, beliefs and conclusions therefore should feed what they please. Whether feeding corn as a first ingridient or high protein meat.
