Now that I have your attention:

Last year I created a thread asking for information on the breed of my recently acquired dog, and discovered thence that this cute ball of pristine white fur is an American Eskimo- https://www.nairaland.com/5568612/what-breed-dog

Alas, his cuteness begins and ends with his fur. He has a most disturbing taste for rats. He doesn't just chase them, he eats them.

We have had several dogs in the past and none of them have actually eaten household pests, but White (so named for obvious reasons) eats rats, lizards...and my God, cockroaches

Well, I wouldn't say he actually eats roaches; he pins them down and rips them to shreds. Sometimes he even sneaks into my room in search of rats stuck on the rat gum. He has even mastered the art of eating the rats without having the gum stick to his fur. The first time he stole a rat laden gum from my room, we had to cut the gum and some of his fur away where it stuck. Now he has become an expert and can now consume the rats on the gum without getting his mouth stuck .

How can an animal so beautiful be so unbelievably disgusting? My mum says he is possessed.

That is your village people embedded in a dog... Bro RUN!!!

Hahahha that dog must be strong willed and determined.
I hope most humans could be possessed with that kind of spirit

We’ll talk about your dog later...



Why rats full your room like that? Can’t you tidy your room? If there’s no rat within, you think your dog will be eating rats? You’re the proximate cause of your dog’s behavior.

Once you live in a RAT Republic, pest control with a dog possessing a high high prey drive is a sound decision.

Mayb u’ve been starving the dog, or introduced raw feeding with some blood stain at some point..like fish intestine with the blood..

When I say starve, I don’t mean you didn’t give your dog food for many days.... what I mean is.....maybe ur dog likes to eat a lot but u can only feed twice a day... which is not bad...but the dog wants more, which causes him to improvise...also the fact that have high presence of rat is a catalyst

my lhasa and Caucasian Shepherd are experts in killing rats, monitor lizard, snakes, birds. I’ve always wondered how they kill birds until I saw the cauc jumped 3ft and hit a bird that flew through the compound.....But altogether, they never eat any of their kills... weda they kill it over night or while I’m out....they submit it at my door step....





the lizard part almost made me puke...

Why won't we have rats in the house when my neighbours have refused to pay LAWMA bill?

That's the thing; other dogs kill for sport, mine kills and eats.

We are not starving him. He is very picky with food. Even the fancy dog mash with cooked meant and bones does not attract him. One time my mum had to force feed him eba and soup because he doesn't eat, but if he as much as sights the shadow of a rat, he becomes hyper.

There a quite a lot of rats in my hood because my neighbours are too stingy to pay their LAWMA bills. We have changed the window nets several times but 'em ratzillas won't let up. Change today, by next week another hole has appeared

Damnnn niggarrrr

He's riding the neighborhood off rats and at the same time feeding himself. Using one stone to kill two birds. Wise dog.

HAPPINESS IS HERE







A DOG IS A DOG NO MATTER HOW PORCH YOU TRY TO MAKE IT LOOK,

JUST LIKE A PIG WILL ALSO GO BACK TO THEIR MUD NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN,

AND YES SOME ANIMALS CAN BE POSSESSED.

Kill the dog

Take it to the bathroom and bath for it

Also feed it very well not expecting it to be depending solely on scare shit

Bring it to my Calabar or Kaduna friends to unclean it for you.

Wahala dey o... U want d dog to be eating grass or what... Op e like say na u dey possessed.... Feed ur dog well or better still look 4 chain, u fit carry am go ekiti/ondo dem get d cure 4 there

Thank God that yours eat animals


I can remember the day our German shepherd and Alsatian nearly used me as their breakfast because their foods wasn't prepared on time.... I escaped with a torn wound on my arm and a mark on my tummy.. After the incident, their only savior was that they didn't eat the poison my mom kept for them ..

For real? May be your dog is just an outlier who knows....an exceptional breed

Nothing wey Trump no go see inside Mail ballot....

Just get a new Broom, 1 bucket of salt and 12 pieces of Coconut go to the nearest river beat hell out of the Dog with the Broom and break the Coconut on his head after that bath him in salt.. Thank me later....

Take the dog to MFM Calabar branch.

Feed that dog. It's hungry!!

Dunno ...but domestic dog feeding on cold blood, e be as e get. Na clap dem dey use enter dance...before e go see you toe one night con think say na house rat God nor go shame us.

Carry go see vet na

Rubbish. Religion will be the undoing of Africa in the end.

My dear Octopusssy , buy lots of weed and set it on fire in a confined place. Endure your dog inhales all the smoke. I guarantee that the problem will be solved. My neighbour did the same thing to his dog ever since then na only kolanut and ginger the dog dey eat since then.

What kind of silly conclusion have you arrived at? I've had about 7 American Eskimos over time & I can tell you confidently that about 3 of that number always hunted these small animals(birds,lizards etc) down & ripped them apart into shreds. I can't specifically say whether or not they ate these small animals they killed sometimes, but I noticed that they seemed very much to like hunting them down. BTW, these 3 I mentioned that liked hunting were/are all males. I don't think I've noticed the females do this tho.

To me, it's silly that you would conclude that your dog is "possessed with an unclean spirit" simply cos he/she hunts & eats other small animals. Your dog is not a human so you don't expect it to behave like a human. If it's a habit you want it to stop, I'm sure professional dog trainers can help you correct that but to simply say your dog is possessed cos of what you gave as a reason is damn ridiculous to me.
