The correct analogy is that of "A big greedy dog stealing away a bone from a smaller dog."

An ionic bond is a bond formed formed between a metallic atom and a non-metallic atom.

The metallic atom is electropositive while the non-metallic atom is electronegative. Therefore, the metallic atom donates or gives up its electrons to the non-metallic atom which accepts the electrons.

During the formation of chemical bonds, only valence or outermost shell electrons are involved.

Metallic atoms have few valence electrons (between 1 to 3 electrons) while non-metallic atoms have many valence electrons (between 5 to 7 electrons).

Therefore the analogy by the student of a big greedy dog stealing away a bone from a smaller dog is correct because the non-metallic atoms takes the few electrons of the metallic atom and add to the many electrons they already have during the formation of an ionic bond.
