Food guarding is an instinctual behavior in dogs. If they sat patiently in the wild waiting for their turn to eat, they'd starve to death. As a result, it is a very common problem. The good news is that it normally responds well to intervention.
Here are a couple more good articles on food-guarding. I hope they help.
