I know a vet that recommends a 1/2 peanut butter sandwich when you have to give pill form medicine. Dogs will eat almost anything if you let them. It doesn't mean its good for them. I had a dog yrs ago who loved grapes. After she ate half a bag I saw a news report that grapes were poisonous to dogs! My rottie will eat everything except onions and tomatoes. I would say 1/2 peanut butter sandwich 2 times a month wouldn't hurt. Even though its full of fat its also a good source of protein, and the oil in it wont hurt their skin and coat.

they can eat quite a bit. just NO CHOCOLATE , chicken bones and fruit. I don't give mine pork bones either. some people do. I think that they can splinter like chicken bones.I think thats it. but remember they need a balanced diet.

Well, to be honest with you, I think people feed peanut butter to dogs mostly because it's funny to watch them eat it! But on a more serious note, it could be dogs like it because it contains lots of protien which dogs like (dogs are carnivorous, meat eaters, and meat contains lots of protien and therefore, they are attracted to foods that also contain it). Another interesting fact is that dogs cannot really taste the food they eat, but they can smell out what nutritional value the food has, that is why, if you have noticed, most dogs won't eat lettuce among other things because it has little or no nutritional value. And that is also why dogs will eat some pretty disgusting things such as vomit and feces. To add onto that, ... because a dogs sense of smell is so much greater than ours as humans, things that smell good to us, actually smell bad to a dog, and the disgusting things smell good to them. Pretty wierd huh?
