Yes it's totally my fault, I know this dog, I know his fetish but I am going to pull his teeth and feed him baby food for the rest of his life!!!!! In the past 5 days he's destroyed 3 pairs of shoes, 2 harnesses, a leash, a cloth shopping bag and constantly fishes banana peels out of the trash to devour!!! Yes, it's my fault. God forbid I should go tinkle without crating him! Heaven forbid I should allow him to leave the room for one red second and believe foolishly that silence means he's just sleeping somewhere! Nooooooo silence means those huge incisors are silently scissoring their way through leather, nylon web or cotton! Grrrrrrrr! And he's surrounded by loads of appropriate chewing toys! It's like having a flipping 2 year old all over again! Oh wait! He IS two years old!!! 
Can someone link me to companies that will replace harnesses and leashes even if your dog chews them up, because it's got to be more cost effective than constantly buying Walmart specials! Someone at the dog park mentioned a product name this morning but now I can't remember it. Darn dog scissored through a brand new harness in the time it took me to drive to the park (about 8 minutes!). And he has a chew rope in the crate in the car! Guess it didn't taste as good as brand spanking new nylon web!
