| She very well may be but in truth, any dog that is not ultra-submissive will steal resources given enough of a chance. To dogs, stealing or sneaking resources is simply exercising one of their survival skills.

| It’s so weird because they behave so well with food and edible chews. I will say when Joey, Penny and Ollie play 3 way tug is funny but I never have my camera lol.

| Yeah, most well-fed, unaggressive pet pack dogs seem to quickly learn that any interest displayed in food stealing from otherwise friendly pack members is usually met with immediately hostile canine body language of sudden stiffness, stillness-posing and/or display of a rigid profile with eyes staring straight ahead, to any perceived aggression, warning the attempted aggressor off the unwanted behavior and ,usually, as immediately, appropriately accommodated. Dogs will not normally ever willingly share their own portion of available food, don't play with it with other dogs but they do share, usually conditionally, other resources not necessary to survival, depending upon each's genetic predisposition and learned behavior to that point in life and always subject to change. And play behavior is an important part of any dog's daily life, as they innately understand they need to practice basic survival skills while still having some fun. And most dogs live for fun!
