Would your dog take a treat from a stranger?

Ozzie refuses,he will drop it if given by someone he does not know yet i can pick up the same treat from the floor give him it and he will eat it ..
Any idea why?
What would your dogs do??

Flint doesnt take food from strangers at all, yet he will play a game of fetch if he gets to know them a little bit.

No, none of ours ever did. Once home they'll take it from us but wouldnt even eat it in the car.

Exactly the same thing as Ozzie. He's very wary of food in general though, try giving him something new and it will sit there for hours while he watches it and occasionally goes to sniff at it, possibly mouths it and drops it again.

Daisy, no. Raz, no. Bran, if it was something he liked.
Shamus would take the bag too. And visit their home to empty the fridge if possible.

Yes. Sometimes she'll even take treats from strangers that she won't take from us! If we offer her a basic dog biscuit, one of the really boring kinds, she turns her nose up. But a few weeks ago the UPS driver offered her one and she ate it up immediately.

Usually she'll take any treat from a stranger if it's good enough. At picnics people she doesn't know have given her all sorts of treats and she's all too happy to gobble them down!
