I'd love to try dog meat sometime, actually. It's one of the reasons I want to travel to SE Asia in the near future.
On a related topic, assholes are trying to make it illegal for me to eat cheval in Canada. The Star ran a sob story about it a couple months back. Argh.
Carnivore meat is not quite as tasty and certainly not as nutritious, but I wouldn't call it bad for you. it's better for you than most of what people eat.
Advantages of dog: it eats everything (though not as much as pig) breeds like flies (same as pig) and, unlike pig, is small(er), docile, and very easy to keep. In an environment short of resources, it makes all the sense in the world to eat dogs. I say this as a crazy dog lady. I myself would never eat dog, but I dislike meat generally, and I recognise the practicality.
There is an extinct breed called the poi dog that was used in Hawaii for food. Referring to some of the other posters' remarks about not eating carnivores, it was fed poi. Reportedly it didn't have a heck of a lot of doglike personality; it was more like a very short canine cow.
