King doesn't have too much of an aversion of taking food from strangers. He will give them a weird look though. most people try giving him biscuts, which he doesn't like. they'll ask if they can give him a treat. we say yeah, sure, but he usually won't eat biscuts. he'll eat them if you insist, but you can tell he rather not. as long as it is something good he'll eat it.

one day i was doing dishes, and i got some soapy water in his water dish and had forgottton about it. well, later on he went to get a drink, smelled the water and looked over at me. i was like what! he circled next to his dish and i remembered. so at least i know he knows better than to drink bad water. (and it had only been a little bit of the dish water.) (what scares me is he used to refuse to drink the well water up at my fiance's parents' house, and he is now drinking it. (and it has a harsh smell to the human nose.)
