When your owner sits down to eat, remember: Punctuality is important.
If your owner is eating something that you particularly like, you may discreet a share.
If your owner has failed to recognize that you'd appreciate a bit of what he's having, you may find necessary simply to help yourself (when the time is right, of course).

However, no matter how tantalizing the food may be at your owner's table,
under no circumstances should you ever - ever - beg.

ONLY DOGS BEG.
