GOLD BEACH, Ore. (AP) Dan Conne says he and his wife and son thought they were going to die after getting lost while picking mushrooms and spending nearly a week in the rugged forest of southwest Oregon.
They spent the nights huddled in a hollow log and considered sacrificing their pit bull, Jesse, for food.
"She's that good a dog, she'd have done it, too," Conne said.
But help finally arrived Saturday when a volunteer helicopter pilot decided to look outside the search area and spotted the family Dan, his wife, Belinda, and their 25-year-old son, Michael on the edge of a deep ravine in tall timber. The three were about 10 miles from the town of Gold Beach, roughly 330 miles south-southwest of Portland.

Well, this thread just made me think of him.
lol
It would take longer than a week without food for me to consider eating my dogs.
What idiots.
I bet if the dog was asked and it understood it would have ran away...or maybe ate the people. LOL
What the article doesn’t mention is that they were found about 300 yards from a road and less than a mile from where they parked their car. What a bunch of f*****g morons.
“It would take longer than a week without food for me to consider eating my dogs.”
“What idiots.”
Have you seen their picture? LOL!!
My question is why didn’t they eat mushrooms?
These people must be morons. They went to pick mushrooms, didn’t they find any? They were going to kill and eat their dog, weren’t there any other varmints around they could have eaten?
No more nature for you!
I wonder how many starving dogs would attack and eat their masters?
In one of the stories they rescuers reported finding discarded clothing these folks dropped.
Forget the getting lost part, that can happen. They didnt have even the basic survival tools. The only thing they did correctly was stay in one place once they realized they were lost. Except that one place was an area so thick the helicopters flew over multiple times without seeing them.
Idon’t care how hungry I was, my dog would never be my dinner.
That’s okay, she was considering eating them, too...
OK, you don’t pick mushrooms in the dead of winter, so it must have been spring/summer.
Any idiot that couldn’t find things to eat that time of year deserves to starve to death.
IMHO “Darwinism” will get them eventually.
After looking at their picture I think they were going after those "magic 'shrooms"
Because, I'm thinking maybe they found some...
Burlapers with a pit-bull, three nuts and a pit bull, or is that a pit-bull with three nuts.
They should have stayed lost.
