They needed a study for this? Dogs really don’t like you getting near their food bowl or treat — even after you just gave it to them.

"Domestic dogs show many adaptations to living closely with humans, but they do not seem to reciprocate food-giving according to a study"

Cats are the same way...


"Hey, c'mon cat, let me have some!"

They are beasts Phys.org. Sheesh. One of the best I might add. They are not image bearers of God.

Our cat gave us food all the time; squirrels, rabbits, mice...

Dogs are good for nothing. Barking, sh!tting, killing people occasionally. Lots of dogs have vanished from my neighborhood.

Have an indoor/outdoor cat. They are always bringing in little food presents. One time I got a dead bird delivered right to my pillow.

Dogs don't give humans food because they acknowledge humans for having intelligence and hunter/gatherer abilities far greater than their own. They know that humans don't need their charity.

So they are more inclined to help out their own kind in that respect.

Dogs may not return their owners' good deeds

The results of this Scientific Study may very well be correct.

In 15 1/2 years, my dog has NOT ONCE put food on my plate, nor ever filled my glass with water. Not even Once.

And, after ALL I've done for her...

Study proves dogs don’t like Jim McGetrick and colleagues at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria.

If it was not for global warming, these dogs would have.

I’ve seen dogs comfort their owners when they’re suffering, and of course showing their empathy in other ways.

Odds are dogs are so used to seeing humans as the food giver that they can’t fathom humans needing their charity.

This is an asinine study. With respect to feeding, the man-dog relationship is one-way. They may as well do a study on whether a dog will drive his master to the vet.

Aside from this nonsense, I am continually astounded by some dogs abilities.

There are quite a few YouTube videos of dogs reacting to the Lion King scene where Scar kills Mufasa. Dogs have a sense of morality!

My Dads dog wasn't allowed on Dads easy chair. When Dad walked into the living room one morning the dog was laying on the floor pretending to be asleep and the easy chair was still rocking and warm. Dogs try to deceive!

My brother had a dog who left the room if someone dropped an F bomb, either on tv or in person, and either angry or not.

My buddy had a golden retriever that did construction with him. The dog climbed up and down ladders, hung out up on roofs and could climb down and retrieve a number of different tools in the truck by name and bring them up to him on the roof.

All cats will do is eat your face off if you die at home.

"In our study, pet dogs received food from humans but did not return the favor."

The dogs still have the lean obama years fresh in their minds.
