. . . was a goddamn CORPSE EATER. He could automatically intuit the location of any dead animal within a half-mile radius, and at that point the battle to determine whether and to what extent the corpse would be eaten was on. Dead birds, dead mice, dead squirrels . . . you name it, he'd try to eat it. He practically strangled himself trying to get to a dead fox he discovered on one of our walks.

But our favorite Buddy the Corpse Eater story happened right in our own backyard. I was a the south end of the yard and Lisa was at the north end when Buddy found a dead bird right at a point about equidistant between the two of us. We both saw him pick up the bird, hollered "NOOOOOOO" and started running toward him at the same time. By the time we got to him, Buddy had already decapitated the corpse and eaten its head.
