To each his own but I dont believe it. If one here goes to the garden it goes straight to the tomatoes, watermelon or cantaloupes. I havnt seen them dig the first tater yet. Besides that I'm pretty sure raw potatoes would make them sick. Well cooked potatoes will if they eat to much of them. Tell Robert Wayne to throw down a raw piece of meat and a potatoe in front of a dog and send us a video of the results.
