has anyone ever had to eat their dog?
i mean, you know, like in a moment of exstreem hunger while hiking?

dude. really
LOL! reminds me of some entries in shelter logs. but maybe belongs in the humor section?? anyway, you of all people should know that eating your dog is a bad idea, at least it is if you eat the liver, which is very high in vitamin A, and you can get serious vitamin A toxicity. this is thought to be what doomed Amundson et al (ok, there were other factors too) on their failed trek to the south pole, where they tried to survive by eating their sled dogs, but didn't know the liver was dangerous. so there!
It's been done plenty on polar expeditions. My dog's too skinny. Also too cute.

oops, thanks for the correction!
Why do you think I keep him leashed?
Not my dog and not while hiking.
I was so staving after dragging those 30 miles to Neels Gap I didn't ask what was in those jesus burgers.
The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
You never know which one is talking.
Maybe a way to get rid of dogs on the trail? Just steal all their food so they'll have to.
I would have dug up worms and ate em before I would have eaten my dog
Last time I went hiking in China I did.

I was so hungry I began eying my beloved puppy and visualizing steaks, chops and ribs. Fortunately, at the next road crossing, trail angels were cooking hamburgers and passing out sodas. Pure trail magic saved my dog!

I wouldn't eat Frankie. Greyhounds are too skinny.

I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
One of my client's has Italian Greyhounds, hardly a kabob's worth.

Never eat your own dog. ask a trail angel for a puppy.
Hardly half a kabob's worth if you ask me. Besides, I'd never catch her.

Just because my teeth are showing, does NOT mean I'm smiling.
