A friend of mind used to have to warn people not to leave any period products in the bathroom trash, but to take them all the way to the outside bins because his dog was mad for them. Every once in a while we’d hear “Oh shit! Ralphie got a popsicle!” and then everyone would chase the dog around trying to snatch the tampon dangling out of his mouth while the person whose vagina it came out of tried not to die of shame and/or laughter.
It sucks because it’s horribly dangerous for the dog, every kind of period product is super likely to cause blockages, so you can’t just cringe and ignore it when they run away with one.

Yeah, it’s a lot more common than you’d think. My mom’s dog is like that as well. Been quite a few embarrassing times unfortunately.
