By far my favorite thing about Metafilter is that there are posts about, say, hyper-advanced physics that get thronged by intelligent, informed people who take the time to share their insights...and then, a great video of a dog stealing a cabbage. Love you guys!

My partner once baked a huge chocolate cake for a party and placed in on the kitchen table. The door bell rang so we went to answer it. Two seconds later we were back in the kitchen and the entire cake was gone. Not a crumb left... Our Border Collie x Belgian Shepard had scoffed the entire thing.

Hm, I'm surprised at all the fart predictions. My dog has eaten cabbage like this but it never made him fart at all. I throw a cabbage head out for the chickens once in a while and he'll go to town on it if I'm not paying attention.
He does get ground raw vegetables as part of his normal food, though, so maybe he's immune.

My dog likes cabbage, but she only has steal-off-the-table levels of love for broccoli. We capitalized on that this spring when it was time to dig up the old broccoli plants, by teaching her to play broccoli tug of war. She'd play tug with the plants until they uprooted, then trot off with her prize to chew them up.

The cat cabbage video is not as interesting. The cat jumps up on the table, delicately sniffs the cabbage from several angles whilst holding her tail straight up, then glowers directly into the video camera and silently says, "What the fuck do you take me for? Maybe you should try this with the dog." She then jumps down on the rug, gives a big yawn and a long stretch that shows all her claws, and goes to sleep. The dog eats anything he steals--all of it--except the mess on the floor and the bit he is too stupid to notice on top of his head. But the cat? Stealing is child's play for the cat. She eats only elusive, living prey, and even then only half, because she has demonstrated her skill, and can do it any time, anywhere. Besides, she wasn't hungry in the first place.

Dog: "Boss. POSSUM. In the, in, in the thing."
Me: "Ow. What? Nope."
Dog: "But. POSSUM. OR A THING. IN THE --- THING THERE."
Me: "Injured reserve, missy."
Dog: "MY JOB IS TO DEFEND YOU FROM VERMIN. AND KICK YOU IN THE KIDNEYS WHILE YOU SLEEP. BUT MOSTLY THE VERMIN."
Me: "Not happening. You. Are. Injured."
Dog: "IT'S ONLY A FLESH WOUND."
Me: "It's pretty conclusively not, at this point."
Dog: "BUT. ANIMAL IN THE THE THE THE ANIMAL IN THE--"
Me: "No."
Dog: "ANIMAL IN THE VINES THAT IS AN ALERT OKAY LET ME DO MY JOB."
Me: "Long. Term. Injured. Reserve. Get back in the house."
Dog: "FINE. I AM LODGING A COMPLAINT."
Me: "To who, the cat?"
Cat: "Go fuck yourself."
....

Be careful with that chocolate cake, it will kill dogs. Not always, but I'm a little surprised an entire cake didn't have any effect.
I had a chocolate lab once--man, he could clear out in entire floor with his flatus. And not in a funny way: people would have extremely serious expressions--pain, disgust, horror--on their faces as they determinedly exited the area. If someone had fallen on the stairs they would have been trampled.

Untrue. My dog once bounded up some stairs in a park she can usually take quickly, not accounting for the 8 inches of fresh powdery snow on the upper level she was trying to get to. She nosedived and slide about four feet and lifted up her head with a pile of snow on her nose and she DEFINITELY gave me a "... you didn't see that" look before pretending nothing had happened.

Some dogs feel embarrassment. Others don't.
One of my dogs was a Labrador-Chihuahua mix (no, really, NO, REALLY; he came from the pound, I assume the Chihuahua was the father, beyond that I have no idea; he was black and beagle sized) whose personality matched his breed mix. The Chihuahua side had this ridiculous Napoleon complex which urged him to do things like bark ferociously at horses or knock over the garbage bin BECAUSE I CAN THAT'S WHY, and then the Labrador side would kick in with OH WHAT HAVE I DONE and he'd be very, very, very embarrassed until I assured him that I still loved him.
My current dog, on the other hand, is a Boxer and thus incapable of feeling shame. Proof: Bee suits. Satisfying itches. And video: the treat seeking missile and singing with Elvis. Never a dull moment with this one around. When she got hurt I knew it was serious because she suddenly became docile and quiet.

Grapes and raisins are foods that have killed a few dogs, but their toxicity is far from well understood, nor is it consistent among breeds or even individual dogs. Let a dog eat enough of ANYTHING and it's bound to find out the LD50 sooner or later.
Grape toxicity is thought to be about half an counce per pound of dog weight, so an average dog would have to be eating something like a pound of grapes. Obviously this is a bad idea.
Since most dogs have a hard enough time eating one single grape, I don't think we're exactly playing with fire here.

Grape toxicity is thought to be about half an counce per pound of dog weight, so an average dog would have to be eating something like a pound of grapes. Obviously this is a bad idea.
Raisins are the real problem. They're sweet and a pound of grapes is probably an ounce of raisins. My friend's dog died after getting into the pantry and eating the equivalent of about four snack boxes of the treats. And super-sweet raised chocolate cake from a mix is probably the equivalent of grapes, but a small bar of dark chocolate is closer to the raisins.
There is no reason at all to feed dogs these foods, is the bottom line, especially if the sole reason is to put a video on youtube.

OMG BEE SUIT. Seriously, is there anything on earth that would not be adorable in a bee suit? NO. THE ANSWER IS NO. Even Rush Limbaugh would be bearable in a bee suit.

Dogs don't, can't feel ashamed. Dogs don't get embarrassed. You can make a dog feel guilty, but never ashamed.
Have you never seen a dog in an e-collar, aka "cone of shame"?
