A lot of people feel that dogs should not be given any "people" food, however, if you'd like to reward your pet with table scraps, you actually can safely, just make sure that you choose people foods that aren't harmful for canines.

Behaviors to expect when adopting a dog

All orphans come into their new home with some kind of baggage. A stray might have had to compete to stay alive, relying on inborn canine instincts. New noises, household routines, even indoor acoustics may make your dog edgy. Pacing and whining are common. A previously-owned dog may have led a less than desirable life. Leashes, rolled newspapers, feet and sticks may have been used as "training equipment." Learn more about behaviors to expect when you adopt.
