Okay, before you click on this, I need to tell you that if you, in fact, do have a dog that does this, you need to do something about it and not video tape it and send it to one of those "funniest video" shows. When a dog is this insanely food possessive, people are in danger and your dog will eventually do something to really hurt someone, thus hurting himself because then you'll get sued, and rightly so, and then the dog ends up in a pound somewhere and you know what happens after like 7 days in a county shelter.

If I may, I'd like to turn this entry into a "what not to do" topic; if your dog shows even the slightest sign of guarding behavior, don't just laugh it off and expect it to fade away as the dog gets older. Aggression's not like, say, chewing inappropriately. Dogs don't just "grow out" of aggressive behaviors; they get progressively worse as time passes, believe me. If you address the problem early, your chances are better in extinguishing the behavior, although most people can't deal with aggression correctly in general. That being said, you can watch the clip of probably the worst food possession I've seen in years. Probably due to a neurological disorder. Hold on to your knickers, folks...
