You know what "Fido" means, right? Food In Da Orifice.

MEMBERS of a US family lost in rugged forest for nearly a week have said they considered eating their dog to stay alive.
So let me ask you, if it came down to it, could you kill and eat your dog to live?
I am not a pet owner but I understand how beloved pets are and almost always considered one of the family.
Is it the same as killing a member of the family to eat to survive? No wife or mother-in-law jokes please
Frankly, I wouldn't be able to kill my pet to eat for survival.

We have an extraordinary relationship with dogs - closer than with any other animal on the planet. But what makes the bond between us so special?
Research into dogs is gaining momentum, and scientists are investigating them like never before. From the latest fossil evidence, to the sequencing of the canine genome, to cognitive experiments, dogs are fast turning into the new chimps as a window into understanding ourselves.
Where does this relationship come from? In Siberia, a unique breeding experiment reveals the astonishing secret of how dogs evolved from wolves. Swedish scientists demonstrate how the human/dog bond is controlled by a powerful hormone also responsible for bonding mothers to their babies.
Why are dogs so good at reading our emotions? Horizon meets Betsy, reputedly the world's most intelligent dog, and compares her incredible abilities to those of children. Man's best friend has recently gone one step further - helping us identify genes responsible for causing human diseases.

Not a chance, my dog is more likely to outlive me in a situation like that! Besides I have good survival skills, so I couldnt see it coming down to that....
The poster earlier had it right......These people ahd no idea what they were doing and had NO business being in that area wondering the woods....
They were not familiar with their area at all...
And let me tell you, having been in that forrest , and actually pretty close to their area, there is an ABUNDANCE of things to eat there, even this time of year.....
If they couldnt find basic things to eat, and think that "rubbing sticks together and cracking rocks dont work" then im surprised none of them mortally wounded themselves just walking around out there......
They need to stay in their camper and cruise on back to Oklahoma.......
