Must be hard having to kill and eat Fido.

That article says he showed "good judgment" by eating his dog. It would have been better judgment to have shot and ate the bear.
Hmmm, I carry a personal location beacon when I'm walking in the uk off the beaten track. I would not have gone on a trip like that without a way of calling for help, or at least check in with someone. But then I don't know all the facts.
I think the three days thing is very short! Hell Wouldn't like to share a house with him on a diet if that's how he is in three days. Even from a logistical and cold point of view doing it three days in seems daft; and what did the bear do too destroy 3 months worth of food in one go before the dog scared it off?
I think this must of been his mother in laws dog. Dog scares away a BEAR no less and only 3 days later he seasoned it. I'd of kept that dog for security, and throw it in every hole I found.
I like to think I'd go weeks before I ate my dog, at least weakened or showing some signs of malnutrition.
3 days is a diet, his body would of been in detox mode only.
3 days I'm shocked.
Well done to him to survive, but f@&k me 3 days.

Don't get me wrong, fido would be in the pot if needed but for me the dog would enhance security, provide a bit of warmth and on a long leash may catch food to share.
Perhaps his survival equipment that was damaged included a satphone or locator beacon? I agree, 3 days seems a bit short to butcher your dog
Spot on Jared, thats the hard thing to account for. On the other hand if I'd gone out like that and eaten my dog I wouldn't dare come back - the missus would kill me!
There will be people here, myself among them, who have been in a position where food is denied them for one reason or another. A carb free diet coupled with working very hard, immersion in cold water etc left us much slower after a few days, but still not biting each other. IMHO the surprise at the relative timings is justified, after all, he went on to do three months!. One thing I would concede in support of Kong's point, though, is that the first three days are hard. There's the headaches and the weakness to contend with, not to mention the additional stress the guy would have been under. Interesting story.
