We have a dogsitter when we are on trips. According to her, our heeler would politely take blueberries that were offered and then wander off, returning not long after. It was only later that she found a stash of uneaten blueberries on the couch. My little man was a desperately skinny and frightened stray in a kill shelter before he came to us, and on the theory that whatever makes him feel safe and content is better than the alternative, he’s, uhhh, put on weight. If he liked the blueberries, they would not be left on the couch.
The fact that he was a stray could explain that behavior. He may have had a bad experience with wild berries and didn’t want to get sick but also didn’t want you to feel bad.
