An avid cases where the dog eats to his duello after passing away one of the cases most sounded was a document of investigation written by a team of Germans, is a quite hard reading. The text explains what happened when police arrived in a Berlin apartment after neighbors complained about the barking of a dog and the smell of rotting flesh:
"They found a 54-year-old man dead in his apartment. The body was decapitated and rotten ... The man's four-year-old German shepherd was present at the crime scene, and the whole floor was littered with feces and urine from the animal ... Dog food was fully accessible ... Evidence included the typical Dog bite marks, decapitation and complete loss of the base of the skull ... Toxicological analysis revealed that the cause of death was a fatal poisoning after combining methadone and cocaine.
And I thought that if I died with my dog he would only stay by my side
