Can dogs tell when they are full?

It's long been said that dogs, like some humans, don't know when it's time to stop eating when they're full. They'll continue to eat the food in front of them until it's gone, be it a cup of food or 20 pounds of kibble. In fact, they just might keep on eating until they drop dead.
