Pet Dog: Yummy?

I know that I haven't written about Malaysia or Japan yet (sorry!) but I had to write about a comment one of my kids said today.
I was sitting and chatting with my class of seven year olds and we were talking about pet dogs. Daniel was saying how much he really wanted a pet dog and so did his dad, but his mom and brother don't like dogs. So I mentioned that I have a giant dog that looks like a bear at home. There was silence for about five seconds and then Daniel says: "It sounds yummy. I want to eat your dog."
Haha I was shocked and laughing really hard at the same time. He then goes on to tell me that him and his dad want a pet dog so they can cook it and eat it! He also gives me the tip that Chihuahuas taste gross, so don't eat that kind of dog.
Ah so weird. I shouldn't be surprised though, there is a dog meat stew restaurant next to our school. Oh Korea. Here's a pic of Daniel so you can put a face with the person who wants to eat my pet dog (He's trying to be a zombie in this picture by the way):
