I just remembered I tasted a Milk Bone once after I was grown - just had to know what it tasted like and why dogs acted to happy to get one. Pretty dull tasting and I wondered at how all-fired wild dogs are to get them and realized it can't be about the taste at all - just the scents they get from it and the idea of getting a prize or reward! I think they see it as something they earned as we do our paycheck or a trophy. And a dog that will work for a piece of Milk Bone will kill it for a piece of warm, boiled chicken!
