I saw a funny video on YouTube showing various dogs fighting with a citrus fruit and so I thought I'd see how my dog Gypsy, the one that EATS EVERYTHING, would react to a lemon.
My Dog Gypsy
Gypsy didn't eat the lemon (even if she wanted to eat it I wouldn't let her - I'm sure it isn't good for dogs), she took one lick and what you see in the video was her reaction to it.
Well, I can't watch the videos yet (until I get to town) but I wonder if dogs have the taste receptor for sour, or, worse, have extra numbers of taste receptors for sour...and that's why they react that way. I wish our dog was still alive to test lemons on. ;)
That's hilarious! Funny how dogs will go after dogs that are 5 times their size and yet they retreat from a piece of citrus like it's Godzilla.
LOL! Monica,
It is strange how they respond to the citrus fruits. I am curious what it is about those particular fruits that makes them bonkers.

Ha! Ha! OMGosh your little Gypsy pup is more than adorable! Thank you for sharing!
