    Today I let my dog out to the back garden as usual! He picked up something which was definitely a piece of white bread ! He had it swallowed before I could get it of him! might nt sound so strange but I know it was nt there this morn! We also don't have any white bread only brown so it could nt be ours!
    I know I sound paranoid but I am worried someone tried to poison my dog!
    Is this crazy or do birds often drop bread I.e whole slices into gardens regularly! ?

    Oh yes, magpies and seagulls aren't a bit afraid of whole slices or large chunks.

    The other possibility is foxes, some people use feeding foxes as a way of getting rid of stale food.
    Not ideal, but foxes will eat practically anything; and they also "hide" food in little holes in the ground and that might be where your dog found it.

    Some birds can drop it, I have cats, and often if one of the cats is out getting the bread is out of the question I think.

    I also used to have a cheeky neighbour who used to throw food to the birds by throwing it on the roof of our shed as well.

    I sometimes find bread lying around. Anything from a full slice to a little scrap of it. The birds sometimes drop it when they fly over the garden.

    I have the bread problem too sometimes. One of my dogs was lethal, knew there might be food so was always out fastest first thing in the morning.

    Live in town with small garden so I check garden first in the morning before letting dogs out as there could be any kind of food. Might be a bit OTT but read online recently about a dog eating a certain sugar free chewing gum and dying.

    Likewise walking around town - lost count number of times I had to get a cooked chicken bone out my dog's mouth.

    Thanks so much for all the replies! I was so worried as you you do hear horror stories of people poisoning dogs! Was thinking they would prob use meat anyway if they wanted to do that and not bread! Was tempted to bring the dog to the vet but obviously no need now!
    The fe..... Would eat anything :-P
