Does anyone else's dog eat used tissues?

[Saltire]

He's 5 now and takes used tissues out of the bin, or iff DSes have left them lying from surfaces and eats them.

When he was a puppy he was a horrendous chewer, chewed everything from socks to plasterboard, wooden skirting boards and books. This all stopped when he was about 18 months, but the tissue thing has remained constant.

is it usual, or is it a Border Collie trait?

My Staffy does it. He thinks it's hilarious to shred them to pieces and runs away from me when he's managed to pilfer one!!

My lurcher puppy does it

My Beagle does it, still partial to socks too

Although actually she doesn't eat them, just shreds them all over the floor

Yes yes yes yes.
I have a collie cross.
I am also extremely experienced in pulling the bloody things out the other end.

Loves them. In the bin, on the street. Any tissue will do!

All my assorted retrievers have done it. Daft things!

My GSP loves used tissues, particularly those left by strangers on the street - EUCH.

Oh god yes, 10 year old border collie.

Glad its not just mine then. Oh and yes to pulling them out the other end although nothing will ever compare to pulling a whole pair of tights out of other end

My 12 year old, possible senile retriever shreds napkins and tissues too. Always has done.

One of my labs is doing it right now .... And here she comes, has just deposited the remains in my lap, lovely!

Mine tears tissues into tiny pieces, which he then leaves in a pile. He does the same with bus tickets and receipts. No idea why. And he never chews anything else.

Oh, and he's a collie cross.

My collie does the same, she takes them out of my bag.

Do you think they have supermodel aspirations?

Yes! 2 of our labs do and one is more 'refined'!!

Beagle here that does it! Only 3 though so not surprising for her breed! Massive chewer until 2, still steals stuff, but mostly takes things to her bed!

Tissues she likes to shred into the smallest possible pieces!

mostly takes things to her bed

very true here too, she loves the attention she gets from stealing stuff and then piles her hoard in her bed!

My terrier shreds anything papery that he can find and sometimes will deliberately drop bones in the magazine/ catalogue basket just so he's got an excuse to get his teeth on some paper

Posted too early , the old ' dog ate my homework' story would actually be true in this house !

My last lab did it till the day she died, would even delicately extract one from the box and slink off.

Hully does it too.

Baby wipes here. And baby socks.

An otherwise well-behaved 18 month old springer.

All three of ours have done this, 2 German Shepard x border collies and a cocker spaniel x, the dirtier the better!
The most recent addition the cocker spaniel x also fancies herself as the Andrex dog!
