Dozens of hybrid wolf-dogs in your yard - damn that just smacks of stupid - feel bad for the animals, too.

A human skull and jawbone were found on the property of a missing Kentucky woman who authorities said Monday may have been eaten by some of the dozens of hybrid wolf-dogs she kept in her yard.
Ohio County sheriff's deputies found the bones and as many as 50 dogs Saturday when they visited the home of Patricia Ritz, who was believed to be 67 and lived near Fordsville in western Kentucky. Neighbors had reported that they hadn't seen her for several days.
The county coroner was working to identify the remains and a cause of death, but deputies told NBC station WFIE of nearby Evansville, Ind., that foul play wasn't suspected. Investigators said they believe that Ritz became sick and died and that the dogs — many of which appeared not to have had food or water for several days — consumed her body to survive.
