How'd they get him into the room if there were no windows or doors?
they could have just built the room around him and the dog
couldn't he have let the dog die of natural causes, then he two would have to die from them
!! how could anyone do that to a poor dog?? i agree with im_para_noid, i thought he was gonna let him die of old age! He should have!
Since we seem to be into gruesome, perhaps he could eat the dog. Then since he couldn't eat himself he would be OK, so to speak. (Yuk)
He could have fed the dog chocolate!
That's mean!
That was clever. I liked it.
This teaser is just a little sick.
I thought he gave it chocolate

I thought he cut the dogs tail offand it bled to death

Enough said. Sick.
What a horrible teaser.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW POOR DOGGY DONT ABUSE DOGGIES!!
don't kill the dog! duhhh
This is awful! Please...next time use a cat.
Could of gave him chocolate.. Didn't like this teaser, it was logical
I thought he would give the dog chocolate, but that was just the first thing that popped into my mind. I don't usually think about teasers that much, just the first thing I think of.
SICK!
If I'd been his jailor, I'd have grabbed the nearest thing that looked like a tail on the man and swung him around by that! Let's face it... he's not going to be in a position to complain about a technicality.
And lighten up, people. No dogs were harmed in the making of this teaser.

I don't really like puzzles (or jokes) about hurting or killing animals or people. The trouble is that often there are clever ideas for such a setting. Sometimes you can rework an idea into a different form.
