I actually heard from someone who works with cadaver dogs that rookie dogs are instinctually deterred and hesitant of approaching dead human bodies. Acquaintance of mine found a dead body washed up on the beach once when he was walking his dog and supposedly the dog was acting super scared of it, too. Dogs have been our companions since forever so it seems very possible they’ve become hardwired to not like dead human bodies. I’m not convinced a normal pet dog will start eating a dead human right away, but only as a last resort if they are trapped with no food for days or weeks and no way to get out. Even humans will start to eat other humans when they’re out of all other options.
It isn’t uncommon for dogs to eat the dead/dying/gangrenous toes off of their diabetic owners while they’re passed out or just asleep. Fingers too occasionally. Or just chow down on human infants for similar instinctual reasons.
I once took a course from a pathologist who answered all the students' morbid questions.
According to this guy, the probability of a dog eating its dead owner is inversely proportional to the size of the dog. In other words, the larger the dog, the less likely it would do that.
On the other hand, small dogs and cats wouldn't hesitate to eat their people. They're just not smart enough to care.
sort of true. there was this german documentary once of a teen girl having a seizure and her Dachshund biting her face to the point she was basically a horribly injured acid victim after. the dog did not eat anything though. it just kept biting her, supposedly in an attempt to get her to "snap out of it". dog was euthanized for it and the girl had several reconstructive surgeries and was left disfigured...
this is just my theory from personal experience but i've known some dogs who seems to get more instinctual around blood or other body fluids
example i cut my foot real bad one time and left a bunch of bloody rags around in the chaos of trying to patch it up
when i came back to clean up the blood, my dog had already "cleaned it up" by hiding and burying the blood and rags in a heap of clothes and blankets
i'm assuming he was trying to hide the smell
this same dog would go mental around passed out drunk people trying to get them to wake up
i could totally see a dog like him going into a wild panic frenzy and causing damage to an unconscious or dead person especially if the were bleeding out of their face, vomiting, rotting etc.
not unlike dogs who eat gangrenous tissue off of diabetics

I once knew a woman who lived alone with many MANY MANY cats. She was feeding a pallet (2000 lbs) of dry cat food every month.
She rolled her lawnmower over while mowing the ditch of her driveway and was pinned. It was mild early fall weather, and if she had had a cell phone, everything would have been ok (she didn't even break any bones), but she didn't.
Forensic Pathologists say she rolled her mower over 3 days before her neighbor called in the welfare check that discovered her, and that neighbor only called in that check because his farm was now overrun with hundreds of feral cats.
She was basically skeletonized, and judging from the distribution of the gore on the tractor, the sheriff said that either the cats were messily fighting over scraps of her or they started to eat her before she died or both.
She was a home healthcare nurse who went to the homes of geriatrics to allow them to stay out of the nursing home, but she had retired. Two of her patients with no descendants had willed her their farm and a lot of money. The ditch she was mowing was the ditch alongside her driveway, not a road ditch that was in view of the public, you've gotta mow them if you don't want them to fill with brush and you don't want them to fill with brush or there'll be no where for you to push the snow when you plow your driveway.
I met her because I was working for the feed store selling her bulk catfood. She was normal when she started, and when it was clear her cat problem was accelerating out of control, I tried to get her in touch with people who would help trap and spay her cats, but by that point I think she was already too embarrassed with her living conditions (as a lone women on a farm with too many animals to care for, she also had horses), and tried to trap them herself. Of course someone who doesn't really know what they are doing can never actually trap a large population of feral cats, and someone who is willing to tolerate them to the levels they'd reached is never going to be willing to eliminate the ones that don't get trapped, so she never managed to spay even a tithe of the cats she was collecting. As her expenditures on cat food (she wasn't feeding shitty food either, the stuff she was buying was like 40 cents a pound at the best discount rate I could negotiate for her) continued to rise, her mental state deteriorated, but her checks were good, so she was never short money, only time and energy. Her neighbors ended up shooting hundreds of cats as their sought out new food monkeys, and the county had exterminators kill all of the ones that stayed at the farm.
i'm alive and not crippled today because i had a stroke home alone with my dog after a seemingly mild head injury and he flipped his shit so bad my neighbor called the police to check on me
>dog wouldn't hesitate
I understood that if you die the dog will wait until they can no longer stand starvation. Cats on the other hand might start eating you hours after death. Either way I'm completely okay with my dog/pet eating my body since I'm not really using it anymore. I'd appreciate it if my dog waited maybe a week max before eating me.
When dog cat arguments occur on Wauf it works like this
Cat side: no facts, repeats insults and statements incessantly, usually starts the shit to begin with and if they didnt they blame the dog no matter who really didn’t
Dog side: Half the facts, intellectually superior in every way but still taking the bait

More like in minutes. Scientific studies have proven it. Most dogs wont eat their owners corpse until they're starving to death.
I remember reading an article from a man who was a body removal worker, and he talked about how cats owners faces were usually eaten off with an hour or two of death.
Dogs have been known to stay by their owner’s bodies after dying, so I doubt so.
OP confused dogs with pigs. Since that photo is of a beagle, the mistake is understandable.
That goes both ways,
>cat fags
cat wont even wait until your dead to use you as a scratching pole
Why is this shit thread still up? Toxos are upset, aren't they?
the litterbox aroma and yowling of their clingy cat not being allowed to sit on the keyboard gets on their nerves so they need to vent once in a while
This thread was already dead. You bumped it back to life just to shit on 'toxofags'. Don't you have anything better to do?
like crying about people bumping threads and calling people toxofags?
Understandable, I eat her cookie when she's asleep too
My dog would kill me if I did that. Sleep time is sacred, you sick fuck.
And?
Not a dogfag but if I'm deathly ill at home and am capable of doing so the last thing I'll do is let out my pet rats
i lave my rats' cage open all the time
as long as they're well fed they never escape
I would but I just don't want them to chew shit and get me in trouble with my landlady
I let them out while supervised for a few hours each day though

You mean shitbulls. Actual dogs are not shitbulls.
calm down
t. shitbull owner
no
now calm down
pibble paws typed this post
I mean dogs, not pit bulls. Normal dogs like yorkies, jack russells, shibas, and huskies.
Don't say dog when you mean pitbull

nightmareishly gruesome
why do people mow ditches anyway? how did she make money?

The ditch she was mowing was the ditch alongside her driveway, not a road ditch that was in view of the public, you've gotta mow them if you don't want them to fill with brush and you don't want them to fill with brush or there'll be no where for you to push the snow when you plow your driveway.

It's a sad story, she was nice.
i'm alive and not crippled today because i had a stroke home alone with my dog after a seemingly mild head injury and he flipped his shit so bad my neighbor called the police to check on me
I go unconscious near my dog every single night. So far, nothing.
Unless you mean that dog in your image specifically, in which case I believe you. He seems a cheeky little cunt.
kek'd
would read again
Objective false except for a couple of breeds.
It's true. There was a man in the US who hit his head and was out cold and his dog ate his fingers, lips and ears
It's false, a woman fell over getting a heart attack and her dog called 911. It didn't wait for to die so it could eat her.
That guy must have had a shitty breed.
pitbulls don't count, probably started eating him while he was still awake
>unconscious
Funny, I sleep with my dog every knight and have never been eaten.
anon you're in hell

You're thinking of cats.
Shit like this is why I have no respect for animal lovers sometimes.
Numbers say it's dogs tho.

What numbers dip shit? Did you even read the article it was all anecdoctal evidence. I was hoping it would be an interesting read but what a waste.

Only if days went by, and by that point, you are not merely unconscious...
cohabiting with any other living creature would produce the same result
Not my guinea pigs
>Weak! Weak! Weak! WEAK! WEAK! Weak! WEAK!
that's why I leave open boxes of corn flakes scattered around the floor
my fucking sides, caught me off guard
If my dog died and I had no other source of food, I'd eat him too
Good.
