His Master's Choice

Life is tough these days-- even for dogs, as Moscow police discovered last month. When a 66-year-old retiree went off the map for a few weeks, worried relatives went to police. After breaking down the door of the old man's apartment, they discovered only the remains of this body, which had been nearly picked clean by his pet German Shepherd.

The dog, which had gone for several weeks without food, attacked the officers as they entered through the broken-down door. The rabid animal's snout was covered with blood, as a result of its sexagenarian snacking habits.

Partial remains of the old man were found in one of the back rooms, and were difficult to identify, as his bones were scattered all over the apartment. The officers originally thought that the dog attacked and killed the master in a fit of aggression, but experts determined later that the man had died of a heart attack.
