Whoever said dogs could be a vegetarian. Apparently, a UK woman claimed so and put her husky on a meat-free diet but was proved wrong within seconds. Lucy Carrington switched her female husky, Storm, to meat-free diet earlier this summer when she started to go off her food, as reported by Metro. She believed the animal wanted to be vegetarian, so she purchased meatless dog food and served up leftover vegetables. But she was left speechless on live TV when her pet chose a bowl of meat over vegetables. #WhatTheFluffChallenge Viral Videos: Dogs Are Adorably Freaking Out as Owners Play Peek-a-boo!
Carrington insisted to This Morning host Eamonn Holmes that Storm had become a vegetarian dog, but the animal almost instantly walked toward a bowl of meat and began eating and didn’t pay much attention to a nearby bowl of carrots and peas. “Oh, you little. I didn’t swear. In fairness the weather has cooled down quite dramatically,” said Carrington after she was surprised to see Storm eagerly consume the bowl of meat while ignoring the vegetables.

Carrington later justified her choice of feeding her dog vegetables by saying the switch was just temporary, explaining that it was merely for health reasons. “During the summer months she just went off her food, strangely. I’m certainly not one of those. I’m not vegetarian, I’m not a vegan, far from it, though I’ve reduced my meat consumption.” Can Dogs See Ghosts?

The hilarious test was a part of a wider debate on the show about whether dogs can be vegetarians or not. Vet Scott Miller who also appeared on the show and said that dogs are omnivores, so the diet change was denying the dog choice. Some viewers also accused Lucy of animal cruelty on twitter with one person commenting: ‘Animal cruelty, dogs are carnivores.’ Lucy left the show admitting she would start feeding Storm meat again. She said, “If this is hat she wants then obviously I’m going to adapt accordingly.”
