No offense please to anyone, but is it true that some Asian cultures eat dogs? Which ones do generally, and do they still ever consider dogs as pets too?

I know dog meat in Korea is considered a delicacy. It is not something the general population eats on a daily basis. Korean culture doesn't include animals like dogs as pets too often. They are viewed as dirty animals that shouldn't be in the home.

I know that China has banned dog from olympic menus. I don't know if they also have dogs as pets. Please read this article→ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7501768.stm

Some Koreans eat dog (not regularly or frequently), but the majority don't. I know of many Korean families who have NEVER eaten dog, and have dogs just like we do as pets. There is a misconception/stereotype that all Koreans eat dogs. Not true at all. And selling dog meat has been illegal in Korea since 1984. Dogs are eaten in other places in the world too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat One of my best friends is from the Caribbean, and she told me that a restaurant on her island served "Beef Bow-wow" and "Chicken Bow-wow" as their specials.
