Dog Friendly Ground Cover or plants for small garden

Hi,
On the West side of our house -Orlando area -right against the house, we have a small garden bed (about 6' x 3') with a small water fountain. There is a giant pony tail plant at one end (oops. did not know it would get so big). I would like to put some non toxic plants and/or ground cover around the fountain. Our dog likes to run through that area and also likes to taste plants. I tried some Pink Polka Dot plants and some mint, but neither did very well. Something ate the Polka Dots (bugs) and they were very faded looking. The mint looked sad too. They got plenty of water. The area is sand and dirt & gets shade and sun. Any ideas or photos or websites for me? I checked the ASCPA list of toxic and non toxic plants, but I was hoping for feedback on what has worked for other dog owners. I would rather not attract bees since our dog does run through the area.We have a 2 yr old Scotty. :) Thanks!!!
