We're blessed in that Heidi will use her little teefs to take food from people, then readjust her grip on it once she has it. I can hold a piece of turkey pepperoni in my teeth and she'll gently take it before scarfing it down.

See, that is the ONLY time Salty's ever lunged for something. Hell, we can take food out of his mouth - but we had best steer clear of that pig part!

Truth be told, XG has Salty so well trained that when you hold out a piece of food, if it's too small for him to take from your hand without your finger getting into his mouth, he waits for you to open your palm and put the food in the center, so he can take it like a horse.

Very well-mannered, our Boston terrier . . . and very, VERY gassy.
