why do pets sometimes eat weird things like poo or used toilet tissue?

You know , young children do that too.. eating mud or dirt.. this is called PICA and happens when the child is missing some vital mineral nutrients ..or has worms that are sucking all the nutrients.
I guess, the same reason is true for an animal as well.. either that the diet is deficient or prolly, it has worm..It would be a great idea to deworm your doggy and try and alter the diet as well.
cheers.
