Saddest dog needs another home

[Catherine]

Quote:Re-homing programs do make food aggression a point on which the dog has to score a 'pass'. I always find that a bit sad.

I have heard of food aggression being a key factor in shelters. Dogs that react are considered unsuitable for adoption. It  is such a minor point. Why would you touch a dog's dish when it is eating. You had a good understanding with Misty and you picked up her dish to give her more. Other than that, why would you disturb a dog that is eating.

I am sure that many very good dogs have lost out because they want their food left alone.

I don't like anyone touching my food either. I can be pretty snappy about it.
