You don't want to drop it for him.  What you want to do is get in a line
with him and throw the food at the dog.

Also, Do not eat monsters corpses that have been around say more than about 50
turns.  If you do, you will get the message :
  Uuch -- tainted meat !!

and a few moves later you'll see :
You die of food poisoning --more--

Monster corpses decay, and must be eaten quickly.  After a while, the dead
monster will disappear from the game whether it is on the floor of the
dungeon or in your pack !!
