A full dog usually walks aside to play and looks satisfied; a hungry one keeps pawing its bowl with an anxious look. You can also judge from stool: a normal cylinder means it is well fed, soft stool suggests overfeeding and indigestion, and pellet-like stool suggests it is underfed.
Finally, a full dog’s belly feels plump; a hungry one feels a bit sunken.
