Dogs for adoption

I'm just watching an Animal planet show about some dogs who are about to get adopted and one of the tests they do on them to see are they viable for adoption is to give them food and try to take it away from them, to see what's the dog's reaction. Of course, the dog reacts with barking, and the woman says "he reacts violently when you take his resources..." Damn, don't take the food from the dog then?! And then she tags this dog as unsuitable for adoption... I'm so apalled at the criteria they push upon the dogs. It's completely normal in my opinion that a dog reacts like that. Hey, even my perfectly calm and snuggly dog, Spikey, reacts like that when you try to take the food away from him, because he has character and it seems that that's not a wanted feat in a dog?
