This troper's father refers to the family dog as the MEFFS (pronounced meffs): Mobile Emergency Food and Footwear Supply.

Not strictly speaking of a ''dog'', but this troper's mother once owned a pet rabbit. This troper's father, however, called the bunny "Arthur" - as in "R for rabbit - that's all you need to eat" (in this troper's native country, Australia, rabbits are usually considered vermin but are also considered edible).

Subverted, since the fat content of Rabbit is too low to support humans and you actually expend more bodly resources producing the enzymes to digest the meat than you get from it, so unless you prefer your rabbit stuffed full of icecream and marsbars, deepfried and covered in whipped cream before being wrapped in bacon you won't last long on rabbit alone.

Yup. They call that 'rabbit starvation', but in a survival or urban situation that's the least of your worries. They're a good source of protein, and that's about it. Sorta like rhubarb in that respect. Diet foods, anyone?

This troper's gamertag used to be EatingAPuppy. "You bastard." became a Catch Phrase for me.

This troper's dad teases her about her pets like this a lot...Of course she doesn't believe it, but que hugging the goose tight and kicking him in the shins.

My dad grew up on a farm, and to this day still mourns the baby goat he befriended only to find out that night he had eaten it.
