In 1997, a forensic examiner in Berlin reported one of his more unusual cases in the journal Forensic Science International. 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.

The German shepherd was calm and responded to police commands. On the way to an animal sanctuary, the dog vomited some of its owner’s tissue, including skin with still-recognizable beard hair.

It's a Dog Eat Dude World.

As Rodney Dangerfield would say..................

“It’s a Dog Eat Dog World and I’m Wearing Milk-Bone Underwear!”

[BenLurkin]

Wouldn’t all you dog owners want your dog to eat you?

(Rather than have Rover starve?)

Both my dogs are under 25lbs. I weigh a bit over 300lbs. I’d pay money to see that.

[BipolarBob]

Not if I eat him first. I lost my first dog after I bought Spot remover. Haven’t seen him since.

You’re a real dog lover, I can tell.

Outside of a dog, a book is Man’s best friend.
Inside of a dog, it’s to dark to read

What they don't tell you is that the dog wrote the suicide note, show his owner, put the gun back in his hand and then ate him.

YESSSSS they will do that , happened to a recluse neighbor of my daughters, guess they got hungry had been several days, quite a ugly scene,

It’s tough when even the taste of you makes your dog puke.

[Popman]

Some of the patterns are surprising, and they open up fascinating questions about why pets might be motivated to eat the dead.

The are hungry ???

I know my dogs will not leave me alone until I feed them their afternoon snack when I get home...

If I knelled over before I feed them...I'm sure "daddy" looks good to eat would be on their mind...

So did the dog shoot him?

Must've been very hungry.

....Wouldn’t all you dog owners want your dog to eat you?

(Rather than have Rover starve?..

Then what happens to your dog? Put up for adoption with a record of eating human remains?

[Big Red Badger]

The Dog had a Belly Full !

[Jess Kitting]

The German shepherd was calm and responded to police commands.

That's a dead giveaway. Most murderers try to remain calm when talking to the police.

[Timpanagos1]

Apparently, the owner disagreed with the dog’s palate.

[Timpanagos1]

It’s a bad day when you commit suicide, your dog waits maybe five minutes, eats you, and then hates you so much that you make the dog puke.
