Area Dog Doesn't Want Breakfast

After being woken up by her dog at 5:50 this morning an area woman spent a better part of early Sunday morning trying to convince the dog that he could probably eat his breakfast if he just tried.  The area dog, a German shepherd named Jagger, looked into his bowl, sniffed as though he was repulsed by his usual breakfast, and looked at the owner like she was trying to poison him.

Area dog not interested in breakfast; bored with owner's coaxing to eat.
After a few accusing glances and what appeared to be stifled gags, the dog walked away from his bowl and stared at his exasperated owner as though he could not be any more uninterested in breakfast or any conversations about it.  He was unfazed by statements about dogs in area shelters who would be grateful that someone crawled out of bed just to feed them and how some dogs might even be on the breakfast menu in certain areas of Asia where children and other dogs are starving.

After four hours of refusing to eat, even when a piece of real bacon (because dogs do know the difference!) was tossed into the bowl early on as an incentive, the area dog finally decided that the food was edible.
