It’s incredible to think they don’t mind given that people say how good dog’s sense of smell (and taste?) is.

Maybe we're the ones really missing out.

i’ll be the fun fact guy: they have incredible senses of smell but way less taste buds than us hoomans so that correlates into “does it have a STRONK ODOR? ok i eat dat” so it’s almost like flavor isn’t part of the equation with dogs (or at least obviously not the first priority.)

It’s probably more complicated than that. They eat cat turds because of high nitrates, which are actually fairly nutritious for dogs
