M.K.W. sent all of these recipes: "Treats for Dogs - Here are a good number of them. The first one here is
esp. healthy. We have three adopted Jack Russell Terriers, and if they won't eat we WORRY! I've found when they won't eat ANYTHING else, they'll almost always eat raw calf liver. Too much is not good, but a little is wonderful for them. The doggie owner from your forum shouldn't freak out just yet - her dog will probably recover quickly! Please send her my best wishes for a speedy doggy recovery!
