In 1997, a forensic examiner in Berlin reported one of his more unusual cases in the journal Forensic Science International. A 31-year-old man had retired for the evening to the converted garden shed behind his mothers house, where he lived with his German shepherd. Around 8:15 p.m., neighbors heard a gunshot from the direction of the shed.

The German shepherd was calm and responded to police commands. On the way to an animal sanctuary, the dog vomited some of its owners tissue, including skin with still-recognizable beard hair.

That one isn’t hard to tell.
a dead heart isn’t pumping blood anymore and if the owner is alive much of the damage will be to the owner’s hands.
This one wouldn’t take any medical training whatsoever to ascertain.
Great Nick Lowe youtube reference!
Lol!
I have a bichon too. She’s smart as a whip. Had to be living with two large dogs. If I were the only food source, she would figure a way to get a large portion and hide it away from the other two.
Well, duh. They’re always tasting you, aren’t they?
Nor so sure that a dog, even if starving, would eat the dead body, but cats would.
If the rats don’t get there first.
Could she give my fluffy potato some lessons?? LOL!
Steven Wright?
Well, not Steven Wrong.
ROFL!
Yeah maybe.
She a great pup. Generous... LOL!
“I get no respect I tell ya. You think you got it bad? My wife can’t cook. I got the only dog in the world that begs for Alka-Seltzer!’’
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.”
The dog did not remain silent, he coughed up the evidence.
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.
So much for attribution.
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.
Marie Provost - also my first thought.
Before anyone gets too critical of dogs, I remind them of the Donner Party
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
