This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. Sometimes an animal the characters are keeping around ends up as emergency rations despite not being intended as a food source, such as if the animal was a pet. Humor is often obtained when the creature is aware of their fate. There may even be a minor subplot about it trying to escape. There's rarely any humor when people who do love their dog are forced to think about eating it because, you know, the world has ended. Can cross over with Let's Meet the Meat and What Measure Is a Non-Human?. May involve Meat-O-Vision. More convenient than Reduced to Ratburgers, as edible pets are easier to catch (they may even come when you call...). See also No Party Like a Donner Party. Contrast with Adopt the Food, for when the meal becomes the pet. |

In Genshin Impact, one Running Gag is the Traveller constantly calling their Fairy Companion Paimon "Emergency Food". Needless to say, she's not amused. | |

The Far Side: Parodied repeatedly. A group of five castaways on a raft are Drawing Straws to see which of them will be eaten, despite one of them being a dog. One of the people loses. (Word of God says the dog looks very smug at this outcome....) Another cartoon has a man and a cow in a lifeboat. The man looks at the cow and sees steak, the cow sees the man as covered in grass and flowers.... And one where the entire trope is turned around. A rescue boat sees a floating life boat with a very happy dog. Neither rescuers notice the traces of clothes and the obvious fact that the dog ate 'em both to survive. |

Excel♡Saga: Excel's thought process right after she first found the dog Menchinote whose name is a Japanization of "mince" boiled down Menchi's existence to the simple equation of "Dog = Creature = FOOD". The anime's Ending Theme is sung by Menchi, and bemoans the poor creature's fate while a hand — presumably Excel's — periodically enters with a salt shaker to make sure she's properly seasoned. Except in the bizarre final episode, in which the girl who usually translates the lyrics takes Menchi's place as the ingredient while Menchi translates the song into dog. | |

The Simpsons: All it takes for Bart is being sent to his room without any dinner, and he already feels so hungry he begins to visualize Santa's Little Helper's head as a pizza box, with his lolling tongue as a slice. The dog seems to realize the strange look he's giving him, as he whimpers and bolts out the door. In "A Tale of Two Springfields", New Springfield, which is run by Homer, is facing a food shortage since Old Springfield has blocked the roads as part of their feud. Homer's plan for dealing with it begins with "The following breeds of dog are edible..." He doesn't have a chance to implement it, since every other citizen of New Springfield abandons him, leaving him and the family as its sole occupants (even the tumbleweeds left). |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann plays with this. The Team Pet Boota actually uses his tail and hindquarters as emergency rations for Simon and Kamina, so they can stop being hungry and kick ass. Boota really was supposed to be a meal for Kamina during his time in prison at the first episode, that they just never got around to eating. | |

Discworld: Dogs are the subject of a weirdly upbeat Running Gag that various characters use to hint that they never had enough to eat as children. Even Vimes gets into it at one point: "The small animal looked up at him. He remembered how he'd always wanted a dog as a child. Mind you, they'd been very hungry. Anything with meat would have done." And in another book: "Pets can be a great comfort in times of stress. And in times of starvation, too." | |

Wolverine: During one arc, Logan was being stalked across Canada by a Cylla, a half-cyborg, and Bloodscream, a vampire, who occasionally captured a local to drag along in case he got hungry. Towards the end of the arc they were both starving to death. Luckily Bloodscream had one sheep left in his flock.... Wolverine meanwhile almost literally eats a dog. Technically it was a wolf that he fought and killed, but he lived off of the wolf carcass during the entire trek. The first thing he did when he reached civilization was scarf down a pile of burgers after confirming that they weren't wolf burgers. |

Inverted in Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin, where a hunter actually amputates his own foot to feed his dog, Riki (father of the protagonist) in order to give the dog enough strength to get help. In the original manga, this scene is also preceded by a Dream Sequence, where the hunter in question kills and eats his dog, which offers some interesting comparison. The scene from the anime adaptation can be watched here. (From 2:15 to 4:20) | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Dragon article "Ecology of the Steeder" claims that steeders (giant spiders used by duergar as mounts) are used as food often, much like cattle are. The Villain Protagonist of the article shows him raising a steeder who serves him as a loyal mount most of his life; when said steeder dies in a brutal battle, he mourns its death, but still cooks and eats it. | |

The Goodies: Intercepted in an episode with Bill taking care of a guinea pig that Tim is holding. Also, caused much Squick in an episode where The Goodies are trying to write a nice, clean song that'll make the charts... but they have to make a filthy song first to be discovered. Thus, Bill writes one seconds before they go on a show with a talent agent. It's called "Mommy, I Don't Like My Meat", and is about a man with a wife and child. He can't work because of his broken leg, and thus slaughters their pets to feed their child. |

Lucky Luke: In Nitroglycerin, Averell is stuck driving around the funeral hearse the Daltons stole while his brothers are trying to hijack the train, and begins to ponder eating the vulture that follows the hearse around when he gets hungry. The vulture gets creeped out and flies away. Mind you, this is less "last resort" food for Averell and more "feeling kinda hungry", since he's near-omnivorous and has eaten far more objectionable things than a scavenger bird. | |

Every main game in the Fallout series includes a dog named Dogmeat as a companion — the same one in the first and second, his descendants in the third and fourth. The name is a reference to this possibility, and in games where he isn't essential and thus immortal, if he dies you can loot his corpse for meat. | |

The horror manga Uzumaki plays this gruesomely straight in a scene which (fortunately) does not appear in the film adaptation. To make a long story sort, a curse has turned several people into giant snails. It doesn't seem like they have any human intelligence left, either, which is a small comfort as, desperate for food, the survivors turn to the snails... and this trope comes into effect as a group of explorers lead a cursed man around on a noose as their emergency food supply, just waiting for him to fully transform so they can chow down. | |

A The New Yorker cartoon once depicted an author writing about "blockade mutton". If a city has been blockaded long enough, the locals will be reduced to eating dog. At one point, his research fails him, but after a trip to a pet store and a (flexible) restaurant, he returns to his desk and types, "It is tough, gamey, and strong-flavored". | |

In Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee, the appropriately named Steak definitely counts. Cute Monster Girl Niche has made it very clear from day one that he's only there in case she gets hungry, and she's even gone so far as to start cooking him a few times... which he is oddly accepting of. In fact, he's extremely violent toward pretty much everyone except the only person who has literally tried to kill and eat him. | |

In one of the chapter-opening "quotes" in Children of the Mind: A man always keeps his dog around even though it cannot be taught anything useful or funny. His friends tell him, "That's not a dog, it's a wolf." Then there's a plane accident and the man is terribly injured. The dog strolls up and begins chewing on him, and his last thoughts are "Thank goodness at least one of us will not starve." "This is the most beautiful story I know." | |

Sunless Sea has a Comatose Ferret, a mascot which gives 1 stat point to your charisma / healing skill when equipped. It's clearly not as useful as every other mascot in the game, but if you're out of food and your crew is starving, there's not much point in keeping it any longer - especially since your hunger causes you to hallucinate it being a giant sausage. Unless you want the sociopathic fashionista gunnery officer to turn it into a hat instead. | |

One Piece: When the crew first met Chopper, Sanji almost served him for dinner until they realized that he had human intelligence (and was a doctor). He still jokes that they're keeping him around as the 'emergency food suppy', much to Chopper's discomfort. The Franky Family's team pets, Sodom and Gomorra had an origin similar to Chopper. The Franky Family found them inside a Sea King they were eating, and Franky decided to save them for later, as he and his men were full. Then Franky got all protective when some pirates hurt the pair. |

At the novel ends, he ends up cutting off one of the dog's legs as punishment for its master's misdeeds, including assaulting his adopted daughter, and promptly decides "waste not, want not". It's mentioned afterward that he is quite horribly sick as a result. | |

Ender's Game: Inverted in two of the sequels: Xenocide: A character tells the story of a man and his beloved pet dog. The dog would learn no tricks, performed no useful function, and did not even seem particularly affectionate, but the man loved it. Then the man and his dog got into a plane crash in the mountains. The man was pinned under some debris, but the dog was largely unharmed. Unperturbed, the dog trotted up to the man and, rather than attempt to aid him in some way, began to eat his exposed entrails. The man's last thought was, "Oh, good. At least one of us will not starve." The purpose of this story is a matter for interpretation, but it appears to be an Aesop about unselfish love. Or something. In one of the chapter-opening "quotes" in Children of the Mind: A man always keeps his dog around even though it cannot be taught anything useful or funny. His friends tell him, "That's not a dog, it's a wolf." Then there's a plane accident and the man is terribly injured.

hololive: Mumei Nanashi, the Cute and Psycho owl-themed Anthropomorphic Personification of Civilization, was asked in her November 28, 2021 Q&A stream as to which one Hololive member, be it from the English, Japanese, or Indonesian branches, she'd want with her if she was stranded on a desert island. She cheats and picks one from each branch... Hakos Baelz, Usada Pekora, and Ayunda Risu. She initially says it's for no particular reason, but then "slips" and says that those are the three she'd pack in her lunchbox. (For those not in the know, the latter three are themed around rodents/lagomorphs, the Stock Animal Diet for owls and other birds of prey.) In Nodoka Narusaki's introduction, A-chan mentions that that some Hololive idols can be used as emergency rations showing Watame Tsunomaki, Pekora Usada and Kiara Takanashi among them. |

As a bonus feature on the DVD of the Dawn of the Dead (2004) remake, a man holed up in a gun store keeps a video diary, and is often seen talking to a pet fish that'd belonged to his (deceased) little girl. Eventually starvation compels him to eat the fish, which he justifies as a Mercy Kill in such an unhinged rambling way that it's easily one of the most unsettling moments in the entire film. | |

Wurmple spends the entire game wondering whether he's Swellow's emergency food supply, and Swellow's constant exclamations of "Try to guess what I most want to eat right now!" don't help. Amusingly enough, when Wurmple finally gathers the courage to ask him if indeed he is this, Swellow is surprised and shocked, and makes it clear he considers him his best friend and would never eat him. | |

He ends up unable to do it. He makes the attempt, but the dog manages to avoid him until his hands are too numb and stiff to unclasp his knife anyway, and the man dies while the dog bugs off back to camp.

In The Count of Monte Cristo, Maximillien Morrel rescued Chateau-Renault during combat in North Africa, and as the two ended up in the desert without rations, they were forced to kill and eat one of their horses. Played for laughs when they recount the incident to their friends, there's a comment about it being tough (i.e. a difficult thing to do), which one of the friends jokingly interprets as a reference to the horse meat being tough. Also Hilarious in Hindsight because of the stereotype that French people love horse meat. | |

At one point, walking by one of the refugee children in Darktown will trigger him asking his parents "Where's Puddles? If we've suddenly got food, he should get some," after he's made numerous comments about how they don't have enough to eat. |

Family Guy: When the Griffins became lost on Mt. Everest, they survived by eating a dead body they discovered. A bit later, Stewie wonders why they resorted to cannibalism, instead of just killing and eating Brian. | |

Another pet pig sacrificed itself in Illusion of Gaia to save the party from cannibals. Stop laughing! Apparently for Hamlet, it was "not to be". | |

RimWorld gleefully allows players to slaughter, butcher, and eat anything that moves, and set up a breeding program to make more of it, if desired. Dogs are actually a decent choice for utility, since they can be trained to haul and fight and are therefore useful for other things — and considering a desperate colony (or sadistic player) will find itself eating long pork, dog isn't so bad, really. However, killing an animal that is considered a pet (bonded to a colonist and named) will cause other colonists to slightly dislike the person responsible for the slaughter, even if it was the only way to save the colony. Not limited to dogs (though the game does feature yorkies, labs, and huskies, as well as wolves and wargs, all edible), colonists may also dine on cat, chinchilla, monkey, elephant, turtle, etc, among many other species. | |

In one of the Dragonlance books, Tasslehoff is captured by the minotaurs, and is quite jarred when he finds out that those lovely monkeys they keep around their ship are actually their meal. | |

In an episode of I Shouldn't Be Alive, a man is lost in the Amazon rainforest with his dog for a companion. Facing starvation, being slowed down by the also-starving dog starting to lag behind, and not being able to find any food except some berries (which his body rejects), he is forced to bludgeon the dog over the head to kill and eat him. Unfortunately, his body rejects this as well. | |

In the movie The Quick and the Dead, gunfighter Dog Kelly is so named because of an event in his Back Story where he was forced to eat his beloved dog or face death by starvation. As a result, any mention of his nickname or the event in question is a good way to seriously piss him off, as evidenced in a deleted scene which had Ellen, the heroine, teasing him about it. | |

Pokémon: The Original Series: In "Pokémon Shipwreck", just after escaping a sunken ship, they nearly eat James's new Pokémon, a Magikarp, as they were starving on their makeshift raft. This fails only because Magikarp's scales are too hard for Meowth to bite through. | |
