Dog in the Manger

One who withholds something from someone that's useless to himself.

A dog in a manger who prevents a cow from eating even though the dog has no use for cowfeed.

dog in a manger

And lo a dog wanteth not the hay, but stoppeth the oxen eating nonetheless.

He's a dog in a manger.
