Alexey Juravlev took some time post fight to say the following; 'We know that dogs have evolved to be able to eat raw meat. Dogs have stomachs and intestinal tracts that are slightly different from ours, which allows them to eat food that humans can't eat. However, dogs can still get sick from bacteria in their food. '.
