Missing Texas man was eaten by his own dogs, police say
A Texas man who had been missing for months was eaten, bones and all, by his pack of dogs, sheriff’s deputies said.
Medical examiners said Tuesday that DNA testing determined that pieces of bone recovered from the dogs’ feces were those of 57-year-old Freddie Mack, according to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputy Aaron Pitts said the 18 mixed-breed dogs apparently devoured all of Mack’s body, his clothing and his hair, leaving nothing larger than 2- to 5-inch bone fragments.
“Never have we ever, or anyone we’ve spoken to, heard of an entire human being consumed,” Pitts told The Associated Press. “The bones were completely broken up and eaten.”

That's a helluva way to go.

It may or may not be related but I have a small pack (5) of livestock guard dogs. They are Anatolian Shepherd x Pyrenees. They are nocturnal and watch over the dairy goats primarily but also chickens and calves. They deter and sometimes kill raccoons and primarily coyotes.
If an animal dies... even something as big as a 1400 lb cow. I used to bury it and they would always dig it up and consume it completely. Now I just let them dispose of it. It sounds crazy and the first time I saw them dig up a dead goat and eat it I was mortified thinking they don't need to get a taste for goat meat! But after reading up, this is their instinctual response to keep predators away. They do not leave dead animals to draw them. They consume them. 
And they are very good at their jobs.
but apparently he tasted good.
I know, I know.
coming from animals who consume other animals daily.
Take that, to all who want to make some "DOGS are DANGEROUS!" insinuation from this!!!
Likewise, I would hope that any LEO or animal control officers who, with no understanding whatsoever or evidence to the contrary, assume this to be a "dangerous" behavior and seek to destroy her, are immediately struck down by karmic lightning! Sorry, but this is overt ignorance and I'm tired of it. Humans, too, have shown a survival instinct that INCLUDES eating the dead if they are starving and no alternative option exists. It is hard-wired in mammals.
Aside from my first response to make a terrible joke about it, I think maybe the dogs were trying to survive and they did what they needed to. It's gross, and it is uncomfortable, but it is also a fact of life that other species are not bound by human esthetics. It's everywhere else in the animal world, why would it not be in canines? Shoot, we had a mated pair of conures and the male started to munch on the female one day when she got egg bound and died while we were at work.
The article does talk about the late owner's ill health, so there really is no way to know if he died on his own or if one of his dogs killed him. It's all very sad and incredibly disturbing, however
