I know in some Asian countries, like China, dogs are sold as food animals.

I don't like it either.
I don't think that's the case....starving people or not....those dogs were treated kinda special, as a lot of us relied very heavily on their senses.
I would like to know that they were ALL given good burials...as ours were.
I'd hazard a guess that whoever put the rumour around that they were eaten, was just being malicious.
