A lot of people just play it safe and give them veggies. Most dogs love carrots, lettuce, and some like cooked corn.
In fact, dogs can't even taste anything sweet - their tongues don't have the right tastebuds - making fruits/sweets even more worthless for dogs.
EDIT: While sweets/fruits make doggy breath stinky, veggies actually seem to improve their breath! One of the main reasons why I like giving them carrots. They didn't like carrots at first but just like monkeys, when they see you eating carrots, they'll eat them too.

One of my Shih-Tzus eat veggies like they were pieces of meat...but then again he eats anything, recently a glass cup shattered on the floor and he tried to eat one of the pieces. Vegetables also improve their immune system; you can't go wrong with them.
Also, MUSHROOMS, do not feed your dog mushrooms.
