<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

My boyfriend has a small mutt and she is around 20lbs. She is a very sweet girl but his consistent feeding of table food is frustrating. For one, I know that our pets metabolism is completely different than ours. What may seem trivial in fatty table food now could contribute to health problems for her later. He thinks that just because she isnt gaining weight that she is ok but thats not how potential clogged arteries work. She doesnt eat a lot of her dry food and waits until dinner time where he will be cooking something and then put some fresh food in the bowl. Some examples would be: fried fat he cut off of chicken, salty spiced bacon, chips, fatty peices of meat

Another problem with table scraps is that she constantly begs and doesn't respect your private food space. She will literally come right up to you and its a little off-putting. If you are eating food on the couch, she will sometimes leap up on the couch and will be right there. When we go out and bring her with us, she continues to beg. One time, I sat down a beer and she jumped ON THE RESTAURANTS TABLE to lick at my beer. Seriously?!

Does anyone understand my frustration? Are there any vets or any online charts I can reference when trying to explain to him why this isnt good for his dog? Am I in the wrong?

p.s. I told him about the clogged arteries and he said that he would rather he have a shorter life and enjoyed better food than to not have.
<bot>: My boyriend is feeding table scraps to his dog all the time everyday and I dont think its right. Am I wrong?
