Is this gross? (dog question)?

Recently I saw a kid picking his nose and eating his booger and I thought to myself, "He probably never saw an adult doing this so it must be a natural behavior" and then I thought about if my boston terrier who gets eyeboogers like nobodys business if he would wipe them off and eat them if he had hands. From then on out I've been wiping them off and feeding them to him rather than using a tissue. I figure I don't risk getting the lint from the tissue in his eyes and for crying out loud the dog licks his butt so I doubt his taste buds are all that great. Anyways my friend saw me doing this and thought it was really gross. What do you think?
