A Dog in the Manger - Answer

Published December 15, 2008

The answer is C!

A dog in the manger is a person who takes or keeps something wanted by another out of sheer meanness. 

 

The expression comes from one of Aesop's fables about a snarling dog who prevents the horses from eating their fodder even though the dog himself does not want it.
