Do NOT keep this dog. 
[b]You are wise for putting 2 and 2 together (snapping at your son and biting to protect a food source).
This dog thinks it is the master in the house[/b], and is friendly most of the time just because it usually gets its way.

Tell your children matter of factly that there is no other option than to try to see if a rescue wants the dog, because the dog has proven that it can act dangerously.

Really?

Food aggression is a particular problem.  Snapping at a child, by a lab, is a means of communication, not an aggressive bite.  Please don't spout nonsense.[/quote]

Actually I happen to know what I'm talking about. Neither are acceptable forms of behavior, and unlike other PPs who pretend this is easily dealt with, most of the time it is not. Experienced dog trainers have specific and time-consuming ways of dealing with such behaviors, but the average family does not have the time or energy. Plus with children around and playdates going on, there is a certain measure of risk around attempting to re-train a dog in the house.
