"But you're only human, and sometimes it's hard to resist your dog's sweet stare as he begs you with his eyes to share some of your delicious homo sapien cuisine."
Oh yeah, they said that. Its an article on what human foods are safe and healthy for your dog. I'm really good with that. People should be educated about what human foods *can* given to their dogs. BUT - these foods should be used as treats during training, possibly stuffed in a kong (peanutbutter, sunflower seeds, shredded chicken, etc make a great kong stuffing!) or as an additive/substitute for some of their regular dog food.
You should never, ever, *EVER* give a dog food from your table. NEVER reward an undesireable behavior - which, I think we can all agree, begging is no matter WHAT household you're in! No one wants to have a dog begging at the table, especially if you're hosting friends! Remember, if it would not be ok when people come over, you need to make sure its NOT ok when no one is at your house.
Pawnation is, in general, a wealth of great information for dog people. I support it 99% of the time. *THIS* time, however, this is a statement I just can't get behind. The article would've been re-post worthy if not for that sentence. --- Today Pawnation's editing staff gets an 'epic fail' from Ranger and I.
