Mom holds food for ducks in her hands. When child wants to feed
ducks, mom makes sure there aren't a bunch of dogs waiting to get at
the food and then hands some to child to throw into the water. Mom
also carries food for child to eat and does not let child wander
around with it hanging from hand. If you've ever seen the way a child
holds food while wandering around, it looks a lot like they are
actually looking to hand it over to a dog. It's really not safe to
assume that the dogs will somehow realize that they need to stay away.
At best, Jr. is upset about losing his lunch to a light mouthed dog.
At worst, Jr. is upset over losing a finger to a not so light mouthed
dog. Unreasonable or not, when it's a safety issue, it's just not
worth it. It's like my mom used to say about crossing streets when
pedestrians have the right of way: Sure it's nice to be right, but
it's a hollow victory when you're dead right.
