Two pugs feasted on the flesh of their owner for two weeks after he died, cops in Papillion, Nebraska told the Associated Press. An autopsy determined the man died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A Human Society spokesman, Mark Langan, told the AP that feeding on the corpse would be normal behavior for dogs left without food or water for such a long time, but he added there is no way to conclusively prove that the dogs had done so.
The Nebraska Humane Society is currently trying to find a home for the dogs, named Harry and Sally.

Another reason to hate pugs (beside being incredibly ugly).
But seriously, what does the last sentance of the following passage mean?
"A Human Society spokesman, Mark Langan, told the AP that feeding on the corpse would be normal behavior for dogs left without food or water for such a long time, but he added there is no way to conclusively prove that the dogs had done so."
How is it hard to tell if the dogs had eaten him? Bitemarks, check. Missing flesh, check. Bloody mouths, check. Not malnurished after 2 weeks, check. Sounds pretty conclusive to me.

maybe the dogs started eating him and for two weeks he struggled to flee. Eventually he stumbled across his trusty shot gun. He couldn't push the dogs away far enough to shoot them and was to weak to injure them with butt end the gun, so he took his shoe off and with his toe finally put himself out of his misery.

i'm glad that our society is against cannibalism. i don't want any doubt about somebody checking me out.
that great taboo will disappear when a value is placed on protein. when population balances the food supply cemeteries will become criminal.
one's last will may contain something like; "being of sound mind and with good taste ".
someday we will be able to deposit and withdraw from our local protein bank. - 2 years ago

Who is to say what an domesticated animal will do or a humane when starving? And who can really find fault with it? The plane that crashed in the Andes, people during WWII. There are cases of humans outside of Ida Amin who have eaten dead people. The will to survive is strong.

Humans do it too if they are pushed enough. The story is quite famous and not the only one.

that licking your face? Now you know.
Actually that's not true. They do it as an instinctive puppy food begging behavior. They are actually going for the corners of your mouth. If you were a mother wolf you would then vomit up the contents of your gullet and they would eat it... hmm.. maybe that isn't better...

We had a neighbor that rescued dogs and was active in the humane society die of a heart attack and her two dogs ( a doberman and a shepard) didn't harm her corpse. In fact they were both found dead along side her. They had lived awhile after her death.
Maybe the fact that there would have been blood evident in a gun shot wound would be enough to stimulate the olfactory to get the dogs to salivate and well you know the rest.... - 2 years ago
