From the time we got Miko, we let EVERYone know not to feed him people food at all because we didn't want him to be a beggar. We didn't give into those puppy eyes, even though it seemed so hard to do. Now, we can eat comfortably without having Miko trying to get into the food. I can literally eat dinner with Miko on my lap and all he does is lay there happy as can be. He's not even interested in the food
