Whoever said we were talking about normal well balanced dogs? I watched my Jack Russel Terrier stalk and bite my 2 year old grandaughter in the neck because the child went over and looked into his food dish and then walked away. I could not believe that he was going to do it. He went on to prove that he was not well balanced a few more times. He was trained and watched carefully but he was unbalanced and continued his evil ways until I put him down. You and I will have to agree to disagree on this one.

If you had a whacked out aggressive little dog, we don't disagree at all about anything that matters. Your dog was a threat. What name your dog had for the child is really an obtuse point.

Hi again, Ditter.

Even my sweet little mutt takes a dim view of anyone getting near his food bowl when he is eating. He has learned to trust me in this regard, but he still doesn't like it. I gained his trust by only going to his bowl to add food, never to remove it.

Kids tend to mess with dog bowls compulsively.
