I have two dogs, Nando and Max. When I come home from work I let the dogs out and when they come back in I feed them. Last week Max finished eating first and came to me whining and barking like he wanted to go back out. When I opened the door, Nando, who was still eating, stopped eating and ran outside. Max, instead of going out, then ate the rest of Nando’s food.
Doesn’t sound to moral to me.

This has nothing to do with domestication, but appears to be a common trait among social animals. Wild-dog [Cape Hunting Dogs] share a "kill" equitably among the pack members.
I would also submit that dogs understand the basics of a contract - I will do this in return for that - and are quick to take punitive action when the contract is breached by the owners.
