My husky, Dakota, will eat my daughter's socks every chance he gets. I guess he likes hers because they're smaller. (She's 4.) He will swallow them hole. He's been doing this ever since she was a baby. Fortunately, we've never had any bad experiences with it. Everything "comes out okay in the end". I'm going to have to save up money for the inevitable surgery when one doesn't come through. God, I hope that never happens but I just can't stop him. I've seen him getting one and by the time I ran over to him, screaming no the whole time, and pried open his mouth, it's gone.
