Obviously, you've never been hungry.
Really Hungry.
Like no food for days.
In those situations, the dog will be eying you!.

Correct.
And I hope to never be that hungry.

That's one of the main reasons I do prep.

In my youth, I did many dawn-to-dusk fasts, and still do two per year (i.e. religious observations).
Those are only "rough" psychologically, but are such that I have strong sympathy for those who are truly hungry, and I do accept that someone truly hungry would eat a pet.

perhaps you could do a pet taste test?

Since you asked, It was sweet, and a lot like Pork...

LOL and :cring:
Oh, did I ever walk into that!

Ok, seriously folks, if anybody has some spare lifeboat rations, how about offering a small tidibit to your pet, and see if the pet is willing to eat it? Maybe even put about a 100-calorie portion in their food dish, with nothing else, and leave it for about half a day?

The point here is to use our superior reasoning ability to plan for our four legged friends.
The OP's question was excellent.

And my wife has been giving me the Stink-Eye for 41 years now, I think I can handle yours!

Please give her a virtual high-five from me.
...and you get a virtual high-five for staying married for so long!

At least my little minpin eats everything that we eat.
When I was growing up I remember my grandfather which always kept his ole' dog well fed with plain cornmeal mush or plain rice made with the leftovers ( meat scraps etc...) so that's a good option if for some reason you run out of dog food or donn't have it available.
