Sounds like it's going to be an interesting movie some day: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... rness.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Too bad about the dog, though.
Bad decisions often make good stories.

I am not sure why he killed his dog on day 3.
Probably first reports were not very accurate.
He had 2 guns and fishing gear.
So he hunted and trapped for a month until he ran out of ammo.
Then he had a few more misadventures with his shelter, fire and injured ankle(?).
Some people are saying that killing a big dog with a stone is not that easy.
