A famous dog trainer stopped by the Saskatoon SPCA to check on the seven Yorkton dogs who survived by eating their owner’s remains.

Brad Patterson hosts “Puppy SOS” and is also a trainer on the Slice TV show “At the End of My Leash”.

He's spent all Wednesday working with the dogs.

“I am so thrilled with their disposition, their compatibility with people, having their mouths checked, their ears checked,” said Patterson.

Patterson says the dogs did what they had to, and are not dangerous animals.

“You just can’t assume just because they’ve had human flesh, that they’re going to become these creatures of the night, like a werewolf,” said Patterson.

He believes two of the dogs may be mourning their dead owner.

“The only part of their temperament that has changed is the depression that they've lost something significant in their lives,” said Patterson.

Patterson feels the dogs are healthy and could live in any home, even with children.
