stop feeding the dog tell me how strong the bond is
The dog is using you for food and giving you what you need and appearance of loyalty 
Discussion
a real dog gives much more than the appearance of loyalty. This guy we lost to cancer recently would have undoubtedly died to defend my kids, wife or me. You've obviously never had a proper dog. When he found mice under the snow he would bring them to us. I feel bad for you that you've never had a real bond with a real dog.
