Feeding a dogs meals, once or twice a day from a food bowl, is really unnatural compared to how free-roaming dogs find food and eat

Free-roaming dogs will spend a large portion of their time, each day, looking for their food (raiding rubbish bins, begging from humans, dead animals)

The act of eating food is very rewarding, as is the act of finding food

Feeding a dog from a bowl, means it has nothing to do from one meal to the next unless the owner interacts with the dog, takes it a walk etc.

The dog in the video took 1 minute and 21 seconds to eat its meal. It would spend a much larger portion of its day sniffing out food, if it was free-roaming

Dogs are very intelligent and feeding from a bowl is completely unchallenging
