I personally hope it's not true simply because I like dogs so much. And I don't think if it's more expensive than other meats that it would be given to rank and file soldiers.

That said, I could see it being something special some of them brought from home (I know some us vets who would take what food from home they could, it didn't last long but it was something from home)

I could also see it being like a perk of sending the soldiers to another country. Like "yeah, these guys are fighting over there but they get these cool perks!" but given I have very little information about the north Korean military, I have no idea if either of those things would even be an option.

Regardless, it's 100% not a standard military ration.
