Why do dogs chew up Barbie dolls?

[The Blue Flower]

My granddaughter (age 7) sometimes forgets to take her dolls home after playing here. My 10 yo little hound likes to chew off their hands and feet. Her dogs at home do the same thing. I'm trying to figure out what goes on in those doggie brains to make them target dolls.

1. They look like bones

2. They don't like the attention the dolls get. nt

3. The plastic formula used for Barbies contains traces of bacon fat.

“Why?” you ask, think about it!

7. Bacon fat is a good high temp oil. It's used to keep Barbie from sticking to a mold.

4. Some dogs really like chewing on plastic things.

My sister once had a dog that chewed up her video game joysticks. I’ve seen dogs go for TV remotes, too.

6. Barbies may not be in good taste, but they do taste good to a pupper.

8. The child's hands have been all over those dolls ...

... but mostly on the parts not covered by clothing. The dogs are doing this for the same reason they chew your socks.
