Pugs Who Ate Owner Get New Home: Police Say Dogs' Owner Committed Suicide

OMAHA, Neb. — Two small dogs that police say fed on the body of their owner after he killed himself are headed to Indiana.

The Nebraska Humane Society says the two pugs, named Harry and Sally, will meet their new owners Tuesday.

An unidentified Indiana couple was selected from more than 250 individuals or families interested in adopting the dogs. The couple has owned pugs for several years and has been looking to rescue more.

The pugs were found with their former owner earlier this month. Police said an autopsy showed the man had been dead for about two weeks of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Humane Society officials said despite the circumstances, the dogs were unlikely to suffer from any long-term psychological effects.

This would make a great Halloween movie, doggone it. Imagine what the policemen saw when they entered the house: the two pugs with blood all over them and the ripped-up corpse. Gruesome!

[commonsense2]

They were probably starving for days before the owner was found so you all better stop "ewwwing" and get over it!

Poor babies.

I think the girl who ice-picked the guy over a parking spot should be awarded custody of these two as part of her sentence.

The saddest part of this whole thing is that nobody realized dude was dead....for two weeks!

[kentj]

True.

[MarsAmbassador]

I wouldn't be able to sleep with those dogs in my house. They didn't just eat him, they killed him and then ate him to cover up the evidence!

LOL

As I'm writing this, my pugs are snuggled up with me on the couch. I will definitely make sure they are well fed!

[planetjeffy]

[stepintothelight]

Not even a starving do would be that desperate!!!

[TheWanderer]

I'd be a little worried about falling asleep on the couch with those two in the house....

As awful as the owner's suicide was, it was made worse by the fact that there were no arrangements made to keep the dogs safe from having to find his body or at least a good bye call so that the dogs could have been found sooner. It's a tragedy all the way around.
