I have a cat who will not eat unless I'm watching his back. He came from the streets, and adopted us about 4 years ago. I think he enjoys having someone watch out for him while he eats, and I did not train him to be this way. In other words, there was once a very good reason for this behavior, and he'd be hard pressed to give it up. The dog may have a reason of his own, too, but he just can't tell anyone what it is. Perhaps he doesn't like the brand of food he's getting, and he only eats it to please his humans. I never try to train an animal out of its harmless quirks -- they only hear "NO!" if they're causing damage or keeping me from doing something truly I need to do.
They look like each of them thinks he's beeing mugged by the other one. Still adorable.
