Never heard of dogs intentionally killing themselves. Has it ever been documented? Simply saying a dog drown or refused to eat doesn't prove the dog made a conscious decision to kill himself / herself.
There are many reasons a dog might refuse to eat. You know like a medical issue which causes pain when eating or a general loss of appetite.
