They are both so cute!!!

I've never had a food aggression problem but if I did I would try this..

You offer him something he likes better than what you are taking away. So if he has a bone, bring him his favorite treat, tell him the command "drop or give it", when he drops the bone, praise, reward, let him eat the treat and then give him back the bone.

It teaches him surrendering the bone gets him something even better and that you aren't trying to steal it from him.

Just be careful, if it seems like he is going to bite you, you might need help from a trainer.
