Donating YT 11K Club Member | Some people... This friend of a friend has a yorkie. I don't know the person very well but have spoken to him a few times. I know that his yorkie is about a yr old and all they feed it is human food. I mean everything they eat he eats. If they eat Mcdonalds, chinese food, chicken, fries, whatever all they do is chop it up real small and feed it to him. It pisses me off because I have told this person that they can't do that and dogs bodies are different then humans. I have reccommended good 5 star dog foods to him and they continue to feed the poor dog human food. They tell me that the dog doesn't like dog food. Of course he doesn't cause they keep giving him human food and have spoiled him. Of course to the dog the food tastes good but in the long run I know that he will end up dying at a younger age from poor health.

| My friends think I'm a spaz because I don't allow my boys any people food. I have a hard enough time getting him to eat anyway, let alone if I started throwing in some yummy cheeseburgers and french fries. I know there are people that home cook for their dogs because of a medical condition or just because they feel it's healthier for their dog. That's good because they have researched and know what the dog needs and what their bellys can tolerate.. But if someone tried to give my dog McDonalds, I'd probably have a heart attack.

| That awful, hateful,uncaring, A******!!! Why? What would possess someone to do that. With the obesity rate in america you'd think that he would know better than to feed his baby S***... I'm sorry for the language but that's just plain wrong and cruel to do that. GRRR There is a huge difference between fixing then a healthy home-cooked meal yourself and just going though a drive through and getting a heart attack burger. I do eat McDonalds sometimes yeah it's not bad but terrible health wise.... Poor baby..

| My neighbor is the same with their yellow lab. She's one of the sweetest dogs in the world, but they feed her whatever they are eating, plus her dog food. She is so overweight, it breaks my heart. |

| Poor guy. It may taste good to him now, but he is definately going to suffer the consequences later. I understand your frustration. |
