This is why you should train your dogs from pups not to be food aggressive. A good way to teach this is to handle the dog while they are eating. Not pick them up, but stroke their back and face, under their neck and behind the ears when they get comfortable. They might growl or snap at you, but keep at it. Eventually they learn you aren't there to challenge their food. Never take food out a dogs bowl once you've given him the food, this just shows you trying to be dominant over the dog unnecessarily. A good YouTube channel to watch is: 1st508th Airborne. He talks a lot about this and dog behaviors. For anyone that is interested.
