Do we have any evidence of folks feeding dogs from the table in period this
way? Perhaps in an illumination or a written report of a feast? I can well
imagine some pampered lap dog being fed by hand by the Lady of the castle.
What about big hunting dogs? Or were they always kept in a seperate area?

Thanks.
