most of your sense of taste is connected to your sense of smell. so they probably have more acute sense of taste than a human

because some dog owners give their dogs disgusting food. if it's not fit for human consumption, my dogs don't get fed it. in fact I worry more about harmful chemicals in their food than I do in my own.

I guess they don't think it's disgusting. While that hunk of moldy cheese on your counter just looks like a source of penicillin to you, it's gourmet food to a dog's palate. :)

Perhaps they are not disgusting, but, they have powerful sense of smelling that could withstand disgusting stuff...
