Just was reading this thread and saw the bit about dogs eating their owners when they die. I know of one that did.NoahAg said:Lex said:
I try to keep it to like 1 cat in the house because if you die a cat will eat you. A dog won't.
I don't think that's true. Dogs have been known to eat their dead owners.
Had a guy living in the RV park who sort of disappeared. I put a rock on the passenger side tire to see if he was dodging me, but it never moved. After a couple of weeks his daughter called. I called where he worked, they said he hadn't worked there in a couple of weeks (about the time he disappeared). She called law enforcement, area hospitals, ambulance services, etc. Didn't find out anything. This all started around December 3rd.
Sheriff's deputy came out, walked around the RV. The guy had two small yip yap dogs, never heard them barking or anything, though they were tiny and not noisy so unless outside you would likely not hear them. During all this, a woman in Florida called; she was the owner of the RV and was renting it to this missing guy. Finally, the daughter filed a missing person's report, after I told her he was either dead inside the RV (but we couldn't smell anything) or had been kidnapped or been killed by someone who came and picked him up, since his pickup had been there.
On New Year's Eve, deputy shows up, we called the owner for permission to break the lock, and he did. I see him get a roll of that yellow crime scene tape and knew then he was dead inside. One of his yip yap dogs was dead, the other one was barely alive. It had been snacking on him for awhile. Never figured out where the dog was getting any water, it was not tall enough to drink out of the toilet, unless it jumped inside I guess, and don't see how it could even do that.
So yeah, they will eat you. One small bite at a time in this case.
