Dogs ate their owner who killed himself

Two dogs are believed to have fed on their owner's body after he killed himself at home.

Police in Omaha, Nebraska, said the man had been dead for two weeks of a self-inflicted gunshot before his body was found with the two pugs, Harry and Sally.

They appeared to be "well-adjusted" and "in good shape".
