1.they do this because they believe you are more important than them and, in a wolf pack, the more important wolves get better food. so even if you have the same dog food in your hand as in the bowl, they believe it tastes better. then when/if they get it, the placebo effect makes it taste better
2.they know you are more important than them and feel somewhat honored by your gift of your food
3. your food tastes better than what is in their bowl. like chicken tikka musala is better than raw potato
4.your hands have touched lots of interesting things, so the dog can smell and taste the difference between the dog food in your hand and the dog food in their bowl
5.they are plain bored of their food and want something different for a change.
it can be one of these, a few of these or all of these that make a dog beg for food.
