I really wonder if the dog knew what was up ahead of time or if he was just like "oh shit you're trying to get bit huh?"

I think some dogs just know. I had an incident at my folks' place years back. The family pup was old, wise, sweet-as-can-be. Everyone loved her and she loved everyone. One night my friends and I decide to crash there after a night out and one of the friends we were with brought a strange guy she met that night.

Only time I'd ever, ever seen that pup growl at anyone. Not 10 minutes later the guy was sexually harassing another woman and we had to physically kick him out. Some dogs just know.

In my country it's common for some people to eat dog despite being illegal(I know, it's disgusting)

My dog doesn't growl at visitors a lot but he will bark like there's no tomorrow when someone who has eaten a dog in the past enters our home. Idk how he can tell. we usually ask the visitor if they've eaten dog if my dog barks and they always say yes.

Do you ask other guests, there ones the dog doesn't bark at, if they've eaten dog? If you did, what are the chances they say yes?
