Is it okay to share small bits of safe human food with dogs?

Background

Small portions of safe foods like apple slices, plain sweet potato or unseasoned chicken can be a lovely shared moment and a healthy snack. Others worry it teaches begging at the table and raises the chance that someone slips the dog something dangerous, so they stick to dog treats only. Either way, keep extras under about 10 percent of daily calories.
