I don't think it's an alpha dog thing, dogs noses smell differently than human noses and they are 1000 times more powerful. They smell each ingredient in the poop, not a "blend" like we smell, so they can smell undigested protein, and that's why they want to eat it. So try putting pineapple in Dusty's poop. The pineapple has an ingredient that helps to digest the protein. If that doesn’t work, I’d think about changing Dusty’s food.
