Philadelphia Police Say Dog Ate Man
Concerned Relatives Call Police
PHILADELPHIA -- A 75-year-old man's body parts were found strewn all over a house in the city's Fishtown section Thursday and police said that his dog had been eating him.
Police and family members entered the house and found Burt Burhart's remains scattered throughout the first floor of his rowhouse.
Burhart's dog, Buddy, had apparently eaten some of the remains.
Relatives say every time they came to his door Burhart would scream at them, "Go away, I'm fine."
Burhart's family said he got Buddy about six months ago for companionship. Despite what happened, nobody seems to blame the dog.
