The dog was killed in N.Y. while still on the leash while the owner watched. It was sucked up in a street sweeper. The operator must not have been paying attention. You really wonder how exactly that happened.

Wow.
I don't know how that can happen either.

It's very sad for the owner. If the sweeper operator was following proper procedure it's going to be something he will never get over.

Wow! That's horrible. I feel sad for the owner.

I know this has nothing to do with this topic, but it reminded me of this. I had this teacher in high school who told the class about when she and her 3 sons were visiting her parents, and her father was cutting down a tree in their front yard, and in a freak accident, the tree fell and killed my teacher's father instantly. What also made this story very sad was that my teacher and her 3 sons saw the whole accident through a window.

Holy crap.
sorry.

That would be the worst thing to see somebody actually getting killed before your eyes. Not just because its' your father or your grandfather but the whole accident of it.

I saw a person get hit by a car. An old woman that was 10 yeas ago. She died but I don't think she was dead right then and there. I think she died on the way. But I saw that happen. That bothered me and still does at times.
