Lucy has been pretty good. She does her fair share of chewing, but no eating.
Our Dalmation on the other hand... I can recall the wooden spoon he consumed when a pup, and the howls when he pooped splinters. He ate several feet of that rope stuff that was in the binding of our comforter. Spent a lot of time *helping* 12"-18" sections of that stuff to be passed. Good times!
Let's see... After about the age of five, he finally grew out of his puppy chewing stage and pretty much just stuck with eating anything that was food. Or had been near food. Or looked like food. Four whole filet mignon - including the toothpicks. Several pounds of bacon (that got him his first attack of colitis). The tator tots off the top of a tater tot casserole - while we had a guest. She still laughs about how he'd quietly slink to the kitchen, grab a couple tots, the go back to his "spot" like he had never left. Then start the whole process over when he thought we weren't looking. Hmmm... about 1/3 of an Irish cream cheesecake. You knew who the dog lovers were that Christmas. We were the ones that just cut off the part the dog ruined and dug in. The non-dog people wouldn't touch it.
Oh, I could go on forever!
