My view of pets on boats is that Cats are OK but dogs are not unless
considered emergency rations. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to
note that during James Cook's second voyage to the antipodes the crew
were devastated at the death of the ships cat. This same crew happily
consumed the only dog on board and the bones were used to make soup for
capt. Cook who was quite ill at the time.

Yep, I've been told that native Americans used their dogs as
bio-refrigerators. The dogs ate all the scraps and leftovers, thereby
storing and transporting the surplus calories quite nicely until they were
needed elsewhere.

I have a couple of friends who sailed across the pacific with a dog. It
seemed
to work fine. It was a black lab and they had trouble keeping it on the
boat...
always wanted to take a swim. Cats are probably lower maintenace though.
