It did, while marooned, according to the account I read, eat baby goats. A detail, which I omitted, is that part of its domestic routine was to go jogging with its owner, a feature of their daily life which was quickly restored. You're right, BB, It is probably a rather unpleasant dog, but sad to say, it is often the unpleasant who survive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-47348737770539870462009-04-08T10:39:00.000+01:002009-04-08T10:39:00.000+01:00That dog story requires a fictional tweak: say, wh...That dog story requires a fictional tweak: say, when rescued it bit its saviours as a means of underlining its powers of survival.

It probably used to squeak.<BR/><BR/>One story has the island residents noticing the dog looked to be in very bad shape, then began looking a lot healthier, as he apparently managed to catch and eat some young goats. Still, always better to be home and dry.
