For some reason the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this story was a line from “The Gauntlet” with Clint Eastwood.
“...the next thing you know...somebody’s dachshund is nipping at your pancreas.”

Maybe it’s just the way my mind works.
My first thought was - Hannibal Lecter, “A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.”
