They corral them, lock them up, and take them out to kill, cook and eat them as needed. Of course the man's a good guy--he hasn't killed and eaten his dog. But the line that delineates good guys from bad guys goes deeper. Bad guys treat humans the way they'd treat animals. They hunt them down in "the wild." The man doesn't.
