Quote HistoryQuoted: You’re probably going to get bit if you try and feed my Dutch Shepherd. She’s a picky bitch and isn’t going to eat whatever you try and give her anyway. That's a good dog. Strangers won't throw poisoned meat over your fence or leave it in your yard hoping to take our your guard dog pre home invasion... |

I wouldn’t be thrilled, especially if they didn’t ask first.
Dog may have allergies. Dog may be in the middle of a training session. You have no idea what’s going on, so best to respect their space and at a minimum ask first. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If I see someone sharing food they are already eating with my dog. Not a problem but a little bit outside boundaries. Trying to get my dog to eat something they aren't eating, and that didn't come out of a dog food container, that's a problem. On the other hand; leash your dog, don't let it bother people when it's on it's own land. Do both of those, and you don't have to think about the issue ever anyway. Thats the other thing my dogs wouldnt be that close to you when you are eating |

Would I look at the person and think " Oh a kind hearted soul. " probably, mad wouldn't even cross my mind. I think if a dog owner puts their animals in the position it could happen they should look at themselves not the kind hearted soul willing to share their food.
Id expect my dogs to refuse until the OK to take it. I understand that's not the norm. |

Quoted: You're walking by with your golden retriever, I am sitting on the bench facing the river eating a Big Mac. I am enjoying it. Dog walks past me sniffing it, I break a piece off without thinking about it and he eats it from my hand. Are you mad? Yes, nothing should be done to ANY dog without permission. Wouldn’t be enough to yell or anything but I would ask that you not do it. You don’t walk up and just start petting someones dog either. Or climb a fence to play with one. My cousin gave our dog a brat and when I told him not to he said, “if I was a dog, I’d want a brat”. I said no shit, dogs want to eat anything and then they start begging. How about you fuck with your own dog and leave others’ alone? |

I felt a nudge on my left knee looked down and found the big black lab that the guy who ran the gun show owned. the piece of hot dog was about 1/2 inch long. I gave the black lab the last piece. He took it and with a nod of his head he walked off.

Mad? Maybe. More likely annoyed. You wouldn't/shouldn't offer food to a stranger's child, why would you do it to a stranger's dog? Some people train their dogs very strictly and build a very precise pack hierarchy with their dogs for very good reasons. Ask before you pet or offer a treat. If the owner politely, or otherwise refuses, accept it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It depends. I think most dog owners would prefer if you asked first. If you dog is a four legged garbage disposal it’s no big deal. But if you dog has a sensitive gut that processes dietary changes into a watery spray of shit, you would probably prefer that they don’t toss food at your dog. LOL mines a Lab/Basset mix, he's a walking disposal unit. I know we are good when the canned sunshine pops off, and only long pig is on the menu. |

He can hand it to me and she’ll take it from me. Ticks him off every time. She’s done the same thing to the UPS man and several others who have tried to make friends with her with food.

I would much rather someone didn't feed either of our dogs anything. We have all natural food we prepare for our dogs.
Caught one of my neighbors giving one of our GSD's part of a Snickers bar once. I asked what were they thinking giving them chocolate. She said she just wanted them to know she was friendly. I asked her politely to please not do that anymore. A week later I catch her giving our 2 dogs fucking Oreo cookies. Had to get a little more forceful about not giving them junk food. |

story time:
last summer we went to my moms vacation house in florida...while there we visited with some friends who used to live here in Texas i hadn't seen in a long time. they foster animals that were mistreated....have a couple small birds and and couple small dogs. i like dogs...most dogs like me. the little one wouldn't come anywhere near me, and was very cautious around my daughters (11-13). i wasn't having that, and said to myself, i'm gonna get that dog to think i'm alright before i leave. i'd made bacon wrapped jalepeno poppers and they were quickly disappearing...i found myself at the patio table by the pool out back with a plate with a cheeseburger and a couple poppers, all alone for the time being... except a little dog very curiously and cautiously sniffing my foot. i slowly stuck a hand down while not looking at him and felt him give me a sniff - when i slowly tried to touch him, he skittered away. i took a small piece of bacon off the popper and put it on the ground a few feet away from me......he gave it a sniff and looked like he'd never seen it before, didn't know what it was. gingerly ate it and sat down. i broke off another small piece and held it in my hand. he slowly walked to me, sniffed it and again, ate it. this time he let me pet his head briefly, and instead of skittering away, he calmly walked away. now, fast forward about an hour..... that little dog comes right up to me while we're all sitting down talking and lets me pet him... the husband remarks how he hates all guys and can't believe he's letting me pet him.....i said, yeah well, i bet he'll be friends with anyone who gives him some bacon! the husband got real serious and leaned in to me and in a hushed tone, said, don't tell my wife you did that, she'll be very upset because she thinks the dogs are vegetarian like her. kept trying to get the birds to whistle dixie but they were obstinate little bastards

When we got off the aircraft in the Netherlands the first thing we did was haul ass to the baggage area to find our golden. She'd been in the cargo hold during the nine hour flight, and I was worried about her.
Her kennel was in the middle of the terminal floor, she'd been let out of it and a couple of various Dutchies were giving her water and cuddles. An older man said "Is this your dog? She is so sweet!" I was kind of shocked at first, but she always loved her public. It was fine. |

My dog has food problems, so I would not be happy. She has chronic pancreatitis. One of her hospital bills was approx $6,000.
I have a friend that has a old horse that is missing lots of teeth. She has to eat a slurry. If someone fed her whole apples or carrots (for example) it could cause major problems. You never know what someone's pet health background is. I do not feed other people's animals without permission. I rarely pet them without permission either. |

It depends on the dog. My dogs - not so much. But had a major family break because my stepdaughter fed my brother-in-laws Husky. He told her not to do it. She continued, he told her not to do it again - but she was smarter than the rest of us and did it anyway. The Husky is EXTREMELY food aggressive - and it caused a dog fight. He knew it was going to happen, I knew it was going to happen - but she thought she was the smartest person in the room.
Now it is so bad that we can barely have guests in the house when the Husky is around. Some dogs simply should never be fed from the table or hand. |
