Animal Smiley 036 Puppy Chow and Science Diet

Well, our little yorkie buddy seemed to have lost interest in these foods (probably because everyone in the family says "don't give him any table scraps", but I must admit, I'm as guilty as the rest of them! and it turns out that everyone sneaks a little to him )... until yesterday.
We thought maybe that these dry foods were just too much work on his little teeth (the vet says it's the way to go) and found that he liked things such as carrots, lettuce as well as some of our house plants!


Anyway, we decided to pour a little broth from a roast we had for dinner over his food, and he wolfed it down like no tomorrow!
I mean the whole bowl, and he was VERY eager for more!
For desert, I thought a little banana might be interesting for him, and sure enough, wolf, wolf, wolf!

I guess my question is whether a stricktly dry diet is best, or do little yorkies require fibre (and water) from fruits and veggies (why else would he munch on our house plants?), as we humans do?

TIA for any advice!
