This little "survivalist" Chihuahua was forced to resort to an unthinkable act - eating "his human" after the unfortunate death of his previous owner.

“I adopted him 1yr ago from an animal shelter because his owner died. Bonus info: his owner was dead for a considerable time before anyone noticed and he did eat his human to stay alive. +1 for being a survivalist pupper. 

“His legs are weirdly long for his small body and also bowed out in a way that makes them look like a fancy table. He likes food, undivided attention, and sleeping for many hours at a time."

She later revealed that the dog's previous owner had been dead for two weeks when their body was found, meaning the little dog was starving when it was forced to eat him. Indeed, this account may be shocking to read, yet it's crucial to note the extraordinary circumstances that led to this event.

The Online Wildfire After the Story Went Public

As the news spread, online users took to their keyboards to express their thoughts and feelings. Some found the story amusing, praising the Chihuahua for his audacity. Others, however, were horrified by the incident, expressing fear and concern for the safety of pet owners.

Commenters were split between praising the dog and thinking it was “gross”. One user wrote: “Bless his heart & his Queen Anne legs. Any animal would do what he did to survive & look at the size of him it’s not like he’d eat much is it.”

Another wrote: “He scares me but I love him.” Others called Rumpelstiltskin “brave”, while some other users simply commented on the pint-size pooch's appearance and bow legs.

Getting Ready for a New Home

Rumpelstiltskin was left with no other option to survive. But, it's vital to underscore that this incident is far from the norm.

Dogs, in general, are creatures of love and loyalty. They are usually well-cared for by their humans and wouldn't resort to such extremes in typical situations. The incident serves as a stark reminder about the responsibility of pet ownership and the importance of ensuring our pets' well-being, even in unforeseen circumstances.

The tiny survivor underwent extensive behavioral assessments to evaluate his mental state and potential for adaptability. Recognizing the trauma he had experienced, dog behaviorists and trainers worked tirelessly with Rumpelstiltskin, implementing a systematic training plan aimed at helping him adjust to his new life.

Professionals were on hand to provide the necessary support for his transition into a new home. The goal was not just to rehome Rumpelstiltskin, but to ensure his successful integration.
