I haven't heard of someone biting their dog. But as a horse person, I have seen people at fairs/shows biting their horses ears when the horses are acting up. I'm really not sure what the purpose of that would be. But I don't like witnessing it.
As for biting dogs, thats "effed" up.

As a horse person myself, I was taught when a horse was acting naughty to grab it's ear. If the horse didn't straighten up, to twist and pull it's ear. When I first got my pony, she was a handful and it was the first time in 17 years of being around horses that I tried that method. It worked and after a few times of pulling on her ear, she got her act together quick. She now is one of the best over all horses I've ever been around.

As for biting a dog out of frustration because it did not place... that is a bit much. Specially out in public!

As for the other comment on biting a puppy to show it what it feels like when they are mouthing, I raised my American bulldog when she was a puppy by "pinching" her. She'd bite, I'd pinch her a bit hard but quick. She got the message and didn't like it and soon stopped biting.
