Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild. A poor substitute for food was this hide, just as it had
been stripped from the starved horses of the cattlemen
six months back. In its frozen state it was more like
strips of galvanized iron, and when a dog wrestled it
into his stomach it thawed into thin and innutritious
leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating
and indigestible.

dogs?
