I miss my dogs.

Back at home, I have two wonderful dogs, Tillie and Sammy. So, when I read about Dog Island, I immediately thought of them: would they be happy there?

Over 2,500 dogs are already enjoying a better life at Dog Island. Separated from the anxieties of urban life, dogs on Dog Island live a natural, healthy and happy life.
They live with almost limitless space, and tens of thousands of rabbits, rodents and other natural prey. Surrounded by thousands of other dogs, this is the only place for them to be truly social and create healthy families.

But, still, something about it reminds me of Lord of the Flies. Maybe it's the answer to this question on Dog Island's FAQ page:
My dog is very high strung and often gets into fights with other dogs. I can control this now, but what happens when fights break out on the island?
Fights break out occassionally, but this is not a real issue, because eventually, the dogs learn to get along. Every now and then some dogs gang up and kill and then eat another dog, but this is just natural, and it's okay for it to happen now and then, but normally this is not the case.

The "Dog Island" website is a hoax, albeit a strange one! More info here:
