OK, when I was a very small child, we had a dog named Agnes who had puppies. I barely remember her. I am not sure I really do remember her -- maybe I just remember being told stories. Anyway, apparently a neighborhood boy was caught nursing from Agnes. He said he wanted to see what dog milk tasted like! I would imagine it tastes much like any other milk. I tasted a drop of my own milk back in the day and honestly, it was very much like cow's milk, but sweeter. Most milks are quite similar, superficially. If anybody really wants to go down a rabbit hole, the medical textbook by Dr. Ruth Lawrence called "Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medical Profession" has a chart comparing the composition of dozens of mammal milks. (In a different life, I worked with nursing moms and had all sorts of books like this.)

Geez, men would rather go off and build Rome than go to therapy!
