Don’t Tell Anyone
If you’re a dog owner, you’ve experienced this too many times before (or even every night): whenever the family sits down at the table, the dog is lurking around, hoping to get some food under the table. While most family members know better than to give him anything, there’s always this one person who slips him a piece of bread or meat when nobody’s looking.

Maybe you’re that person, or maybe it’s your brother. Either way, the dog knows it’s worthwhile to hang around while the people are eating. Even if they never get anything, they’ll never stop trying, so really, what’s the harm of giving them a small piece of meat every now and then?
