Never pocket victuals at the table, it denotes a thievish disposition.” “When you have done eating, clean your plate, knife and fork, lay the bones you have picked in a snug heap by the side of your plate, scrape up your crumbs, and cross your knife and fork on your plate.”

The lower jaw is longer than the upper jaw, and therefore it is physically impossible for the dog to let go while there is any tension on the"object being gripped.
