But, but... we have SIX of our own dogs and one long term visitor.   
Moon wants ANOTHER one, though.. sigh.

We have a very small (half size) mostly-Corgi who has a will and  
constitution much bigger than she is.

The seat no doubt tasted a bit of the dog's people.  YUM!  I once  
knew of a large young male dog who was very people oriented, but was  
left in a toyota for a half hour one day.  He ate the insides of the  
car.  All of it, roof liner,seats, dash padding, door handles. All of  
it.
