A 31-year-old man had retired for the evening to the converted garden shed behind his mother’s house, where he lived with his German shepherd. Around 8:15 p.m., neighbors heard a gunshot from the direction of the shed.

This one wouldn’t take any medical training whatsoever to ascertain.

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.

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.

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.

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
