Rusty the Cannibal

This is Rusty my dog.  And this is a picture of what he does all day long.
The other morning my friend Becky and I took our dogs for a walk in the patch of desert behind our home.   Rusty ran off and came back with something dangling from his mouth.  It looked like a furry rodent.  I of course didn't take it out of his mouth because I didn't want to touch it.  He eventually swallowed it.

So the next day, I went back out and he went to the same spot.  I followed him to see what he was eating.  And this is what I saw...
Yes, that is a dog leg sticking out of the ground, and yes... my dog was digging it up!
Here's Rusty with a tasty morsel in his mouth.
My parents were walking with me this morning, and I made my dad pull this furry bone out of his mouth.  Does anyone know how to sanitize a dogs mouth?


One word:  GROSS!!!!!!!!!

Did he lick you yesterday? If so, do you need a shot?

Who is burying their DOG in the empty lot?! At least they could have dug a little deeper!!!

And is it possible for dogs to be cannibals?

That is disgusting!
Now that I think about it, he did always like chomping on Andi's legs. Good thing she was too quick for him.

Thanks for confirming why we are never going to have a dog.

Don't ever let me catch you swapping spit with that dog.

Okay- that is seriously nasty!! How do you sanatize a dog's mouth? Our dog - Duke - had a dead mouse in his water bowl and 2 live mice in his food barrel. That grosses me out - I was wondering the same thing - how do you clean their mouths - without having to touch it? Oh these silly dogs!
