Some people never mind their dog linking the plates.On the contrary,they enjoy the process of it.One reason is that they think their pet dogs are clever doing some housework for them.Another reason is that they treat their pet dogs as a member of their family and also good friends.So when they see their pet dogs "share food" with them, they feel happy and friendly.Especially,for those lonely old people,who like their pet dogs licking the plates clean.
However,other people will mind their dog pets doing that,though they like dogs very much.They don't like the saliva.In addition,some of them are sensitive to animals' saliva.For me, i don't like my pet dogs licking the plates.i'm not used to this case.But i like washing pet dogs,"take a shower for them",which is so funny.Unfortunately,my pet dog is "wander all over the world",it won't give me the chance to wash it.
