Would a dog eat its owner if they died?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

So What to Do? There's no way to guarantee that your pet won't eat you if you die, apart from not having any pets. Even hamsters and birds have been known to scavenge on occasion. The best way for pet owners to reduce the odds, Rando says, is to make sure you have people who will stop by if they don't hear from you. 23 июн. 2017 г.


Would my dog eat me if I died?

Dogs normally don't eat you immediately after you die. But there's always an exception to the rule. Unlike wild animals, there's usually a "waiting period" before a domesticated dog will ravish your body.

Has a dog ever eaten its dead owner?

Yes. Dogs are perfectly willing to eat human corpses, and there's no evidence that they treat their masters differently than any other dead body. Many cultures consider dogs unclean precisely because of their tendency to scavenge our remains. In The Iliad, Homer makes nine references to dogs eating dead bodies.
