    eh but he can eat with mouth though.

    all i can think of is disease relating to spoilage of food.

    ooo how bout a sandstorm in the desert? he can still lose his food/water in the middle of the desert especially after a nasty sandstorm.

    But what else survives that long except canned food? And I'm guessing it'd be preety damn impossible to use a can opener without his hands

    The death is unrelated to the food and water.

    "A dog decided to cross the desert. He packed and brought plenty food and water, but he died. Why did the dog die in the desert?"
    1) Dogs can't pack
    2) Due to the inability to pack, said dog could not bring any of the food and water
    3) Therefore logically the dog would die due to lack of water and food
    4) However, since it's a riddle it doesn't really have to follow logic
    5) You've said that it doesn't have anything to do with the food or water
    6) Riddles generally have something in the specific wording which reveals the answer
    7) Since the death has nothing to do with the food or water then either the answer to the riddle is not the answer to the question posed in the riddle or the second sentence is useless except the for the last part so then the riddle would be "A dog decided to cross the desert. He died. Why did the dog die in the desert?"
    8) Are you sure you wrote down the riddle exactly how you read it?
    If you did then:
    The dog didn't die in the desert.

    The riddle just states that he died and then asks you why the dog died in the desert. However, it does not state that the dog died in the desert, you just infer that from the last sentence.

    The dog died in the desert.

    Maybe no one's gonna get the answer to this one... perhaps I should put up another one.

    Wow! You put way too much thought into this riddle. This is a situational type of riddle, something that requires you to think outside the box and something I am not too great with.

    Perhaps the dog is part of a rescue mission to transport food and water to stricken areas in the desert and was planning on airlifting survivors to safety but could not, because of the weight of the survivors, the plane could not make the full trip across the desert, so the dog was thrown out of the plane to reduce the weight.

    saying the dog didn't die in the desert is as outside the box as you can get. there isn't even a box at that point.
