Man's best friend apparently isn't averse to making a meal out of a man.
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.
Langan said the dogs are in good shape - mentally and physically - and added they're unlikely to suffer long-term trauma since "they don't have memories like people."

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
