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?

Quoted:
The polite thing would be to ask if it’s OK. Same with if you had kids in tow. Don’t assume it’s OK. Dick move

Quoted:
I would be. Gave my own dog pot pie once from Costco and that cost me an $800 trip to the vet.

You never know what kind of chemicals they put in human food that aren't compatible with dogs.

The McDonald's burger has to be at least 87% chemicals.

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
