It is an unacceptable situation. I rehomed several dogs that bit family members (just people who got in touch with me knowing I had connections to find new homes, not my dogs) and I blame this solely on all those owners. One guy's daughter kept getting bit when she played with the dogs food while it was eating. That right there was the problem but the owner expected the dog to understand it was a toddler and shouldn't hurt her.
The dog was 9 years old at the time! Sorry, dogs should tolerate nearly anything but you can't just expect it to allow someone to bother it while it's eating. Children need to respect the animal as well. There's a huge difference between being able to take an animals food from it and playing with it while it's eating. He refused to understand and I found the dog a good home where it was and hopefully still is happy.
