Dogs do not eat their own tails but they do sometimes bite at the end of their tail and then pull on it so it looks as though they are trying to eat it. They might either run around in circles doing this, or they might lie on the floor and pull at their tail. It could look cute or amusing but the dog is actually very uncomfortable.
When a dog persistently pulls its own tail it is most likely trying to clear blocked scent glands (which are near the base of the tail), or it may be that the dog has worms (and so has an itchy bottom).
If your dog pulls its own tail more than once or twice you should consult your veterinary surgeon to discover the cause. They will soon be able to clear a blocked scent gland to make your dog more comfortable or suggest a wormer that you can use, as appropriate.

Why would your Havanese dog eat his tail?
A havanese (or any dog) might be eating/chewing on their tail for many reasons. The dog could be just bored and have nothing better to do. A better answer is that the tail probably itches, and the dog has to scratch it with their teeth. Whatever the case, I would take the dog to the vet and say that it's been exhibiting strange behavior.

If you were literally starving, you could possibly eat some dog food and not die, but No, a human could not sustain a proper diet eating dog food. We evolved to eat a much more mixed diet. Humans who eat solely meat tend to get deficiency diseases such as pellagra.
