My previous dog, a Lab, was like that. She was always ready for food. We could not keep any type of food on tables or counters because she would jump up to get it. She could not be left alone with a plate of food.
Once while we were singing Happy Birthday at a family get together, she jumped up out of nowhere and took a bite out of a pie. She was very good at knowing when the humans were not paying attention. I remember one time at one of our parties, my nephew left his slice of pie in a box on the patio table as we were all getting ready to leave. He left it unguarded. When he came back the box was on the ground empty. She ate it all.
Misha, my Jack Russell, is also a chow hound. She comes running whenever she thinks someone is getting food. However, although she can jump high, she has never figured out how to get to the counters or kitchen tables, so she hasn't really gotten into any food.
