Starving Dog Eats Dead Owner's Leg After His Body Lay Undiscovered For Weeks (PHOTO)

 

A starving dog was found by the police chewing on the leg of its dead owner, who had lain undiscovered for about four weeks.


The man was reportedly last spotted by his neighbours four weeks ago which means that the famished dog could have been munching on his dead owner for up to a month.

The Australian police made the tragic discovery in the town of Geelong near Melbourne, after locals reported loud barking.

Sergeant David Magher told the Geelong Advertiser: "Police looked through the door at the rear of the house and saw a male on the bed. His right leg was missing and the other gnawed to the bone. The dog inside the unit appeared to be extremely aggressive so council rangers were called in to restrain it."

He added there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.

The man, who has not yet been named had not been seen for four weeks when police and council workers arrived for a welfare check

The dog's breed is yet to be revealed.
