You vintage engineers are full of surprises![]()
Last time I tasted dog biscuits they needed to be sndwiched with a filling like what is used in Oreos 
My dad used to actually eat dog biscuits as a snack when I was a kid and we had a dog. Milk bones. He actually liked them, but my dad is a really weird person.
