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.
Just as you wouldn’t feed a stranger‘s child without permission.
True, he should have asked............
I was doing some work, years ago, in a home occupied by two dumpy divorced sisters on “public assistance,” their kids, and a fat little Cocker Spaniel. I got there one morning, and the dog’s dish was piled high with leftover scrambled eggs and bacon. And it was ignoring it.

Some people take away all the fun.
(Cmon, here boy, cmon get a treat)

It kind of depends on the situation. If you’re having a party with a lot of guests, and you don’t want someone to slip someothing to your dog, you should probably corral it in a non-public area. If my late father was at, say, a BBQ and the hosts gave him a steak or other meat that was crap, and the host’s dog was wandering around the backyard, the pooch would regularly be treated to my dad’s tough-as-gristle steak, burger, whatever.
