This gorgeous German Shepherd seems to have a lot of fun on the grass. I hope he’s not too fond of them that he’d want to eat them:)

Why Some Dogs Eat Grass and Is it Ok
Eating grass is a common dog behavior. In fact, grass is the most commonly eaten plant by our furry pals. However, the reason behind this behavior may differ from dog to dog. Different dogs may consume grass for different reasons. Here are some of the most common reasons.
Your dog find it tasty. Maybe your dog find a certain flavor or texture in grass and he absolutely loves it. It may also be he is filling a nutritional need that is not normally in his diet. If you think this might be the cause, you should consult your vet in terms of changing your dog’s diet.
Another simple reason is that maybe your pooch is just bored. Make sure to provide your GSD with regular exercise and mental challenges. Get him some quality chew toys too.
Veterinarians consider grass eating a harmless dog behavior, as long as your grass doesn’t contain dangerous fertilizers or pesticides. SO it is recommended to only use non-toxic products on your own lawn if you have a dog that snack on grass.
