She sounds like a good dog Emma. She probably had irregular feeds from her previous owner. I've always had the opposite problem with my dogs - fussy appetites. All of them hated dog food and preferred their food fresh and cooked which was a nuisance a lot of the time.

Emma ,
buy your dog some proper food.

I've never overfed my dogs, they just liked fresh food. Sometimes they would go for a couple of days without eating and just ignore their dinner.

I minded a friend's dog for a few months and it was the greediest thing I'd ever encountered. He would snarl at the other dogs and not let them get near their food. By the time he left my house - he was fat, because he'd steal food off the table, out of your hands and probably your mouth if he had the chance. If I wasn't supervising him he would eat 4 or 5 meals at a sitting simply by scaring the cats and dogs away from their meals.

It is hard to ignore an animal if it begs for food, but I've only encountered it with strays and other people's animals.

Either, 1. the door was unclipped or, 2. it was a deliberate strategy of owner to involve dog, or, least of possibilities, 3. owner didn't see any problem of dog greeting police because it is a friendly Mastiff.  I believe No. 2 suggestion. contar wrote on Oct 23^rd, 2013 at 6:47pm:
