How long will a dog wait to eat you?

In one documented case, a woman died alone and her two dogs — a Chow and a Labrador — consumed pretty much her entire body within four weeks. Sometimes it happens pretty fast, though. I read one study where a young guy had died, and in about 45 minutes his German Shepherd had started chewing.

Do cats eat their dead owner?

Cats get a bad rap for being the most eager to eat their owners, and anecdotally, some emergency responders say it's pretty common.

Do dogs ever eat their owners?

When dogs scavenged dead owners indoors, 73 percent of cases involved bites to the face, and just 15 percent had bites to the abdomen.

Is heaven a real place?

It is not something that exists eternally but rather part of creation. The first line of the Bible states that heaven is created along with the creation of the earth (Genesis 1). It is primarily God's dwelling place in the biblical tradition: a parallel realm where everything operates according to God's will.

How do you get to heaven?

You enter heaven by forgiveness and through the righteousness that Jesus gives you. You do not enter into heaven by the Christian life. It's always true that where faith is birthed, works will follow, but salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

Heaven will be far more exciting than anything we will ever experience on this earth. The one thing we will never be in heaven is bored. Why? One reason is because we will be with God — and because he is infinite and eternal, we will never grow tired of exploring the riches of his glory.
