The authors describe and discuss the case of a 51-year-old man, who was lying mummified in his apartment. Beside the corpse, the well-fed half-breed dog of the deceased was found. Only the penis and testicles of the corpse were destroyed by post-mortem animal scavenging, whereas the face and the rest of the body were intact. There was plenty of dog food in the apartment. In contrast to wild animals, with domestic dogs hunger is the cause for post-mortem scavenging only in the minority of cases. It is rather a displacement activity. Frequently, the face and hands are destroyed by post-mortem animal predation, as these body regions are usually unclothed and thus easily accessible. Lesions in other localizations are seldom seen and injuries in the genital region are a rarity.
作者描述并讨论了一名51岁男子的案例，该男子被发现以木乃伊状态躺在自己的公寓里。在尸体旁边，发现了死者喂养得很好的混血狗。尸体只有阴茎和睾丸被死后动物啃食破坏，而面部和身体其他部位完好无损。公寓里有大量狗粮。与野生动物不同，家养狗在死后啃食尸体的情况中，饥饿只是少数情况的原因。这更像是一种替代行为。通常，面部和手部会被死后动物啃咬破坏，因为这些身体部位通常没有衣物覆盖，因此很容易被触及。其他部位的损伤很少见，而生殖器区域的损伤更是罕见。
