From the size of the neighbors kids, the food at that home was hardly the issue.
Was the dog a gilgul? Did my mother use less garlic than the Irish cook? The dog never said one way or another.
In cases like this, I like to fall back on the quip said in the name of the Satmar Rebbe (R’ Yoel):
Anyone who belives every “rebbisheh maaseh” (Chassidic story) is a tipish (a simpleton)
Anyone who says NO “rebbisheh maaseh” ever happened is an apikoires (a heteric)
So I guess this one falls somewhere in between
