Dogs aren't obligate carnivores, they're omnivores.
Dogs don't eat grass, they swallow it to refresh their gut microbiome and then regurgitate it or pass it undigested.
No no fam, they're omnivorous. They evolved to eat a starch-rich diet because they were domesticated by us for 15,000 years. They can eat other veggies besides grass -- carrots are actually good for them.

I don’t know what the real answer is here but I imagine the assumption wasn’t that dogs can survive on grass, c’mon.
