Bob and Doug McKenzie's "Strange Brew"Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Well, duh. They’re always tasting you, aren’t they?
Disgusting, of course but it is not unusual for a human to eat another human and yet some readers think a hungry dog would not do so?
“The German shepherd was calm and responded to police commands.”
And all he said was, “It was self-defense. I want a lawyer.”
I would rather be found dead having been eaten by my pet than get found dead with a blow up doll, like my great uncle Louie done did...yesiree...uncle Louie was a fungi.
In extreme situations, dogs (and their close relatives like wolves) will eat other members of the pack. Given that dogs see their human companions as part of the pack, we could be on the menu in extreme situations. Welcome to the pack.
Before anyone gets too critical of dogs, I remind them of the Donner Party
Bob and Doug McKenzie's "Strange Brew"Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I must admit; in seven decades, six of which contained pets, the thought had never crossed my mind—until I read this article.
If a person had a choice between a bowl of cold cereal or a nice warm rare steak, which would he choose? The androcentrism of the author is amusing.
If I am dead and the dog needs food, then I’m good with that. Same for the cats.
After I’m dead, my body is just meat.
Well, what about this thread, then?
I was literally eating a store bought chimi chunga when I read this ... just fished feeding the Watch Dog and ...
I’m headed for DQ to get some Ice Cream (I know it isn’t Real Ice Cream) but after that story I figure I can eat anything tonight.
Gonna top it off w a Beer, kinda an Inverse Float.
Wish me luck
I don't know, but I do know my cat would kill me if it could.
I’ve already had ‘the talk’ and given them permission.
I had a chihuahua that tried to eat me anytime I ran out of baloney to feed it. Heck it nipped at me with the baloney in hand.
I have indirectly experienced this. An old Friend involved in Construction was our client and a workmate and I in Engineering related to that construction. We surveyed his ranch and got a couple of acres each for our work in the 70s.
I visited the ranch (and my two acres) around 2007; the ranch had a new owner and a new tenant.
I asked the new tenant if he knew where the old owner was and he casually answered, "I heard that he moved about 100 miles away, he lived alone, died one day and his two dogs ate him.
It was startling to say the least, and a short conversation, LOL.
This story made me wonder what my feelings are about the whole topic, and I realized that, so long as my pets don't eat me when I'm still alive I have no problem with the possibility if it helps keep them alive long enough to be found and survive. As for the reverse, I don't think I could ever eat them, dead or alive.
The responses to this topic should be interesting.
Some dogs would lay by the side of your dead body and mourn until they died themselves. Documented instances of that.
Some dogs would end up eating your body if they had no option, such as being shut up in a house with your remains for a lengthy period of time. Documented instances of that, too.
It’s fairly breed specific, I’d think, as to what sort of behavior a dog would exhibit upon your passing. My late Walker Hound girl would mourn herself to death, she loved me so it was painful to watch sometimes. Hounds have their downsides but love and dedication beyond all reason to their people isn’t one of them.
Kebabs, not Bob? Doner party? I thought you said Donner Party?
