But bit at her legs to try to wake her up.

In popular culture
Prevost's death was featured in the book Hollywood Babylon, by Kenneth Anger. In the book, Anger claims Prevost's dog consumed her remains over the ensuing days to survive. However, Anger's claims that Prevost's dog made "mincemeat out of his mistress"[24] are false. While Prevost's pet dachshund Maxie did bite her legs in an effort to wake her, the dog did not attempt to eat her body.[25]

I do not doubt however, if a dog is left long enough with a decaying body, it will eat for sustenance. Even humans. The 1972 Ande's airplane crash with the rugby team who ended up eating some of their dead teammates comes to mind.

Then I realized that it is probably true. My cat would settle on my hip at night, too. I still miss her.

You said they eat your eyes first, and then I said I can't see that happening.

Get what I mean there?

Eyes...see...get it?
