An adventurer, who was stranded in Canada's frozen north, was forced to eat his faithful dog that saved him from a bear attack.

Marco Lavoie had to save himself from starvation, after a bear raided his camp and left him without food and his canoe, the Daily Express reported.

The dog had driven off the bear, but Lavoie was so desperate for food days after the attack that he had to use a rock to kill the animal.

Experts have said that the 44-year-old, who had lost more than six stone and was barely able to speak or eat, was only days away from death when he was rescued from the freezing Quebec wilderness.
