He must be dreaming about retiring to Israel,
so he can roam free and safe without being shot and eaten !!

I wonder if he's having a "what goes around comes around" dream...where he's about to tuck into a human buttie sandwich. He's sitting at a table, brown sauce in one trotter. His other trotter is signalling the waiter for a coffee refill and another plate of fries.

Hey, they don't call it pigging out for nothing.
