HE ATE HIS DOG: Stranded/Near Death Hiker Eats His Beloved Dog That Saved His Life

A hiker who was stranded in the Canadian wilderness for nearly three months after a bear destroyed his supplies was forced to eat his beloved dog.

Marco Lavoie escaped with his life when his German Shepherd chased away the wild animal that attacked their camp – destroying their canoe and food supplies – just days into a planned three-month climbing trip.

But three days later, in a real-life display of survival-of-the-fittest, the 44-year-old killed his heroic Alsatian with a rock and ate it in a desperate bid to survive.

With no way to call for help, the stranded explorer then spent a further three months alone and starving before a search party came to the rescue.

Incredibly, survival experts have praised Mr Lavoie’s actions as a good use of ‘reason’, which may have saved his life.
