To determine which dog eats more food per day, we need to calculate the daily consumption for each dog.

**For Bingo:**
- Total food: 15 lbs
- Days to finish: 10 days
- Daily consumption = Total food / Days = 15 lbs / 10 days = 1.5 lbs per day

**For Buddy:**
- Total food: 20 lbs
- Days to finish: 16 days
- Daily consumption = Total food / Days = 20 lbs / 16 days = 1.25 lbs per day

Now we can compare their daily food consumption:
- Bingo eats 1.5 lbs per day.
- Buddy eats 1.25 lbs per day.

Thus, Bingo eats more dog food per day at 1.5 lbs.

So the answer is:
**Bingo will eat more dog food at 1.5 lb. per day.**
