Not buried next to his owner? ;_;

According to Wikipedia, his remains were cremated and left to rest next to his owner, but his fur was stuffed. So I guess they skinned him after he died?

How taxidermy works, yes.

it's like a pumpkin, where you get a big spoon and scoop the guts out.

Much kinder than before he died.

I can tell you that the dog does have a spot dedicated to him next to his master's grave. I went to see it when I was in Tokyo. It's rather small and easily missed but it has quite a few gifts left in front of it (and nothing else put in front of his master's grave right next to him.)

His skin at least is in the National Science Museum
