Some dogs do this because they like that they have your scent on them or they just choose these to be their favorite “toys”. Most commonly they eat socks and underwear. Unfortunately these item can get stuck in their GI tract so I strongly recommend to keep all clothing items out of reach at all times so they don’t accidentally become obstructed.
