Let me tell you a little secret there city boy. If you have a hungry dog (if he isn't eating then we know you aren't eating), that is even half
compitent as a canine, he will go straight to food if let loose in the woods.
People do it with hunting dogs. They starve the animals and then let them loose in the woods. The animals, after finding and eating all the easy
food, take to chasing deer.
If hunters use dogs where you live, and you hear them barking in the distance, put some meat scraps in your back yard. You will meet a pack of hungry
dogs in about 15 minutes. Hounds have a better nose than some other dogs, but nearly any dog can find food pretty quickly.
I don't promote the idea of starving your dog, but if you are both starving then eating him may feed you for a time, but he can feed both of you for
a very long time. Feral dogs find food on their own, and they're nothing more than domestic dogs that have been let run loose.
