I loved the movie "Grizzly Man"...I thought it was comedy (the liberal is eaten by his friend the bear)
Pompeian Dogs On the 30th of August, 1787 the bodies of a dog and his owner were found alone in a room in the ìHouse of the Vestals.î The bones of the man had been visibly gnawed. The story goes that the man and the dog had, by taking shelter in this room, become the only two living things to survive the terrible eruption. They had food and water enough to stay alive for several weeks, all the while unable to escape. They were still alive when Titusís rescue teams arrived, but their shouts were not heard through the dense layer of ash and pumice that had buried them. The man, forever loyal to his pet, which he had saved from the eruption, did not kill and eat it, even to prolong his own life. Instead, several weeks after their entombment he died of starvation. The dog, facing the same choice as his owner, chewed on the bones of his dead master. But it was in vain for all this served to do was prolong his own misery for another couple of weeks. Another story involves a chained dog that had been abandoned by his owners as they fled the eruption. The story goes that the owners had left the dog to guard the house, planning to return as soon as the eruption abated. The dog avoided being buried by the falling ash by climbing on it as it accumulated around him. But these efforts too were in vein as the unfortunate dog was overwhelmed by the volcanic surges that swept through the city.
