Heh, my dog knew better than to even look at people food. No pet
begging in my house. Well, I have a strong suspicion that she would
get the occasional treat from the neighbors. So, if she was caught
staring at the neighbors when they cooked out, I would say, NO.

No begging at the table, no begging, at all. So, if they were
cooking outside she couldn't help herself. She would race around
to this bush and hide under it and stare at them from there.

(laughing) You had to see it to know how funny that was.
