Hello. Dallas is sneaky, & perhaps a little bit jealous of his brother. This is a situation where Dallas thinks what is mine is mine, & what is yours is mine, too! There is nothing wrong with this other than if Dallas gets too fat, & his brother misses out. You might want to close one of the dogs in until both have eaten so that everyone gets their fair share.
