If my dog is going to eat me, I at least hope he likes the way I taste and he remembers it fondly.

    Unfortunately, a dog that is believed to have eaten a human corpse will be euthanized.

    So, best not, for all involved.

So what? I'm dead. Have at it. Hope she enjoys the meal.

Yet another great reason not to have pets!

    It's not really. Too often we anthropomorphizing out pets and even if they are not that different from us on the social-emotional level you cant blame for doing this - they have no concept of moral wrong of doing it. Historically, consider some human cultures not that long ago where cannibalizing your close ones was a honorable way to show them admiration (and also get the prion disease).

I legit worry about this. Not sure why.
