===============================================================================
You miss the large dog.  The large dog devours the tripe ration.  More--
The large dog dies from hunger.

Whoops.  Guess it couldn't digest fast enough.

One of the users here saw the above, and made the comment that follows.
I've looked at the source, and don't see how it could happen.  In tamedog()
(in hack.dog.c, the only place where there's any devouring) initedog() is
unconditionally run, and this code sets "hungrytime" to 1000+moves.
So how could the dog immediately die?
