Saturday Night Live veteran Dana Carvey, who was known for his impression of President George H.W. Bush on the sketch show, once had an interaction that the late politician didn't find very funny.
"So I'm in the White House having dinner, my wife and I, with George senior, the president of the United States at the time, and his wife Barbara," Carvey recalled on a recent episode of his podcast, Superfly, cohosted by David Spade. "And the dog, Ranger, kept coming around looking for food. So I was kinda sneaking some food to the dog."
"And then at one point the president just said, 'Don't feed the dog,'" Carvey shared, taking on Bush's voice.
The comic's response to the presidential scolding? "I literally said, 'Yes, sir,'" he admitted, noting in his defense that the dog was "so cute."
The SNL star famously impersonated the politician regularly while Bush occupied the Oval Office from 1989 to 1993. In fact, he won an Emmy in 1993 for his role in Saturday Night Live's Presidential Bash.

Can’t feed the dog. It wouldn’t be prudent.
Feeding News!
You should not feed a dog human food. It will become accustomed to it and refuse to eat their dog food............
Not at this juncture! ;)
In Ohio/Haiti, the dog feeds you.
“Human food” meaning what humans eat or food made from humans?
I’ve never known a dog to go off of dog food because he has a treat of human food now and then.
But you shouldn’t feed another person’s dog without asking first.
“...and refuse to eat their dog food...”
My training method works for both children and dogs. Stop feeding them for a few days. They’ll get right back on track. ;)
Signed, Meanest Mom Ever EVER!
(Just ask my kids and/or the Beagle.)
Just as you wouldn’t feed a stranger‘s child without permission.
Foods like table scraps. I had a dog that would actually starve herself rather than eat any kind of dog food. After that dog passed, I never again fed another dog we had any human foods at all. Never had another problem along those lines..............
Red my lips...
I had a female dog that absolutely would starve herself rather than eat dog food...........Our next dog didn’t have that problem..................
READ my lips...
If it’s that big a deal, maybe the dogs don’t have to be in the dining room during meals with guests in the first place.
True, he should have asked............
Dogs, like people, can have sensitivities to all kinds of things in manufactured food. (A lot of people make their own dog or cat food for that reason.)
