bm, that makes sense: it's a steak knife. And a dog will instinctively eat sharp, meat-flavored bits, because in their instincts, all sharp meat-flavored bits are bones! They won't know any different!

That reminds me of a something I've heard (from several sources): Apparently the way the Eskimos would catch wolves for their fur, they would coat a knife with frozen blood and leave it sticking up from the snow. When a wolf would come across it, he would start licking the blood off of it. After a bit, it wouldn't be the blood on the knife, but his own blood that he would be licking off, until finally he bled to death, leaving the pelt completely undamaged.
