That's an understanding dog. I've had three dogs in the past, a beagle, a basset, and a poodle. They were all very gentle…except if you messed with their food bowls while they were eating
This makes me cringe. The dog is asserting its rank each time it pulls the bowl back. Of all the ways to tease a dog, this tops the list for probability of a tragic outcome. If the meal were particularly appealing or the dog were in an 'off' mood, the baby could be bitten – or worse.
