Nebraska Humane Society trying to find homes for 2 pugs that police say fed on owner’s body

Police say 2 dogs fed on Nebraska owner’s body

PAPILLION, Neb. — The Nebraska Humane Society is seeking a new home for two small dogs that police say fed on their owner’s body after he killed himself.

Police in the Omaha suburb of Papillion found the pugs named Harry and Sally late last week. Lt. Chris Whitted said Wednesday an autopsy showed the man was dead for two weeks of a self-inflicted gunshot before his body was found.

Humane Society spokesman Mark Langan says he can’t verify the dogs had fed on the body, but he says it would be normal behavior for dogs left without food or water for two weeks.

Langan says the dogs appear to be well-adjusted and in excellent shape. He says they’re unlikely to suffer from long-term psychological effects because “they don’t have memories like people.”
