Thanks for the link. The first story was so poorly written it gave me a headache.

I cannot imagine how I would feel if my dog dragged home a leg bone. I wonder if the events happened the way it is written in the story. If he knew the first bone was human, why wait until the dog drags home two more before calling police?
