Doggie Snacks - hopefully contraband

What is the most interesting food or non food item that your dog has eaten?
My dog has become quite creative in her abilities to access our food. Every day we come home we try to decipher what she's been into. Without exception she skips the open bag of dog food which sits on the floor next to her food. I can't help but think that your dog must be naughtier than mine - and I need to pass on naughty dog stories to my husband to distract him from the daily phone calls to my work to let me know of the latest doggy buffet.
I'm not looking for advise on how to doggy proof the house - I know that needs to be done - and it will be - soon.

This post was deleted for the following reason: interesting "what's your favorite x" question but it's still basically chatfilter. -- jessamyn
Mine chewed the lid off the peanut butter jar. Then ate as much peanut butter as she could reach.
Anything we leave out is fair game.

We didn't have a dog, and a dog wandered onto our place that looked like it needed a home. So my brother fed it, and we had a dog. That was Yag (for "you're a girl"). Yag would chew apart empty pop cans so that she could lick the sweet inside. She left only sub-centimeter-sized pieces. She also chewed the skins off of golf balls so that she could watch the little rubber bands inside unwind.

I once found my dog vigorously licking a broken lightbulb he'd found in the trash.

Expanding dinosaur sponge tablet thingy. It was scary at the time (basically custom-made to create an intestinal blockage), but after a day or two she shat out a lovely T-Rex and life went on. I loved that dog, man.

In an attempt to rescue this from the chatfilter bin, if your question is "Do you know of humorous stories about dogs eating stuff with which I can entertain my spouse", this may be an appropriate answer.
(My dog likes to eat soap. And I have had to pull bandaids out of his mouth on our walks, which is totally disgusting.)

This is chatfilter, but anyway, our former yellow lab ate:
thumbtacks
soap
used Maxi Pads
birthday cakes
brownies

Our dog ate my father's entire pipe collection- 15 or 20 of them. Apparently had some sort of pica for plastic pipe stems.

Response by poster: Clearly, my typing betrayed me and yes I must agree that the question is actually:
"Do you know of humorous stories about dogs eating stuff with which I can entertain my spouse" (trip and a half)
And, for those of you who have indulged me already - thanks - I'm going to use these one at a time at just the right moment...starting with the use tampax.

The first week we after adopted our too-skinny dog from the pound, we thought she was the most well-behaved pet in the world -- we thought it was too bad the poor thing was sick, but still, best-behaved pet in the world. Then the antibiotics kicked in.
Day one of feeling well, while we were in the kitchen cooking and having dinner, she ran around the house and in that one hour she ate: my brand new shoe, both the arms off an expensive doll, an entire shelf of paperback books -- the whole shelf of books, gone, with little bits of paper and cardboard all over the floor! -- a pillow, the bathroom garbage, a box of crayons, and half a Duraflame log.
She refused to touch her organic dog food, though. It seemed to offend her.
All this changed as she matured and now, at 3, she only eats her own chew toys. And pencils.
