My puppy thinks he's human...

He is so cute pink_bunny! My Rado also don't like raw bone and meat. Funny dog! and he will ask for half of my pizza, half of my spagetti, half of my burger too. He only eat his biscuit when i'm not home LOL And he pretend that it wasn't him who was eating it because i always bring some food from work to eat while watching TV. I always know where he sit, little wave of his tail, stare and the hopping face at me while i enjoy my food. "can i have some??..please...please.." Hahaha Happy posting !!! oxoxox'dian from Bali island.

I've heard that some meats are healthier when cooked, so perhaps dogs sence this. For instance if you buy paunch for your dog you have to cook it too. I do agree that a dog can be easily spoiled but concluding from your story you didn't give him cooked meat before so he couldn't be acting spoiled to get it from you. I go with my first explanation :) Your puppy is really gorgeous, I wanted to add a pic of mine but I'm not at my personal computer right now. I'll try and remember adding it later on!

What a cutie! I love puppies too. Is he an indoor dog? Do you know how big the dog will get? I am wondering cause I'm thinking about getting a small dog for inside the house. But I don't know which kind we should get. I think he's adorable. We don't have dogs, now. But we do have cats. Sometimes I feel the same way about my cats. They are just too real, sometimes and act almost human. I really do know what you mean!

Oddly, sometimes dogs seem to imitate thier owners? I sit on the couch with my arm up on the side. And my basset hound dog sits on the other couch the same way! LOL! (We have photos of us both!-My kids think it's funny.) The younger a puppy comes to live with people and is taken from it's canine parents, the less likely it will learn canine behaviours form it's parents and more likely it may show human ones. When I got one dog, they said it was 8 weeks but had no papers to prove it. That dog is 6 now and still sucks MY thumb. (And she weighs 100 pounds now, so that's a SUCK!) Is it possible you may have gotten your puppy before it was at the 8 week mark in life? Breeders are not always honest. And the earlier you get your puppy..the more likely it will think it is human. (Frankly..I have bred bassets and think 8 weeks is too early for them to be seperated form theri parents? I keep them unitl they are house trained and raise them wiht the family in the living room. They do not go to owners unitl they are house trained!-About 12 weeks or so is plenty of time before they go. They make better pets for the ones that take them home that way.)

good day.. your dog is cute but I didn't know up to now that we could feed our dogs raw meat. I never fed them that, I always cooked their food. My dogs eat dog food and most of the time our food not leftovers but what we currently eat and she's fine

Speaking of dogs that think they are human My dog , dot, when its late and we are all relaxing on the stee watching tellie she will sit up and shout 'I Love You' It is the cutest thing i have ever seen or heard :)

i used to have a pomenarian dog in the past and my mum always tells me not to feed her with human food as it is not good to her... it will cause her feathers to drop and also make her sick... there is one time that my brother feeds her with human food and those things really happen... she gets sick and we have to bring her to a vet... after that, no more human food for her... take care and have a nice day...

This is not uncommon. Animals are doing their best to keep up with humans nowadays. My cats do their best to be human as well. My cats love human food. I do my best to give it to them when I can.

Dogs get easily spoiled and they will turn their nose up at their own food when they offered "human" food. I try really hard not to give either one of my dogs whatever I'm eating as my vet keeps warning me what a bad idea it is. Also, human food will tend to make dogs gain weight and that's not good for their health. However, I do like to give my own dogs a little treat every once in a while, just because I love them so much!

The idea of a giant shitzu is kind of interesting, one that only eats cooked meat is probably pretty rare. My dog doesn't care if meat is cooked or not. If you drop it she will eat it. In her old age uncertain of what is or is not food she'll occasionally eat something that isn't even edible.
