With holding food for an hour??? heaven forbid....some people!!!
I think some people should have a reality check & see how a real working dog lives, it makes me shudder to think how we lived, never mind the dogs. When camping away from home, eating our mutton sandwhichs (lamb was for wusses) with sheep shit under our finger nails, sleeping in rat infested huts & the dogs got what we didn't eat. Road kill was a treat for the dogs.
A good dog was worth 3 men & a bad dog........ well there wasn't any. Harsh but that was the way it was, way back then.
