Neither Gunnar nor Daisy really care much for pigs feet so we don't usually buy them. One of my wife's co workers had a pig butchered recently and gave us a couple of the feet, so I gave one to Buzz for dinner last night. He loved it! He worked on that thing for over 3 hours, starting at one end and gradually chewing it down to a little nub which he finished. It was a lot of work for him but he was diligent and thorough!
Pigs Feet

I gave Daisy one last night as part of her dinner. She toyed around with it, then wanted to bring it inside, so I told her to go to her crate and closed the door. She toyed with it some more, then she "buried" it by nosing her blanket over it so the other dogs couldn't see it. At that point I took it from her and put it back in the fridge for later. Of course the entire way to the fridge she kept nosing at it like she wanted it, but I knew she didn't.
Mine chomp them down like crazy. I've given them several pigs' feet apiece for a meal, and they're gone within a few minutes. But then again, mine are like that with most of the raw they get. The only time they get the bury urge is if I give them too much.
I do wish that Zeus would like organs more, though. *sigh* Voodoo happily eats anything I give him. But Zeus will not eat organs unless I puree them and mix them with yogurt and other yummy stuff.

Have you tried offering it to him frozen? Bosco was like that too ~it took over a year before i could just hand him a little piece and he'd eat it out of my hand.
I also tricked him into thinking he was getting something "special" because i would offer it to him (a fingernail sized piece) when i was standing at the kitchen counter ~he thought he was getting something special that Kona wasn't
hooo-boy he's a funny dog.
