Wii-Mote Accident Almost Kills Puppy

Be careful with your Wiimote the next time you're playing a spirited game of Wii Sports, or you might find yourself minus one dog.

Five-month-old Ozzy, a miniature Sheltie, lives with his owner, Kathy White, in Marquette, Michigan. One night, Ozzie was watching his owner trying out her brand new Wii Bowling. As White drew her hand back, Ozzy leapt up at her, and Kathy's swing connected squarely with poor Ozzy's head, knocking him out cold.

Luckily, White's screams drew the attention of her neighbor, Pene Honey, who gave the puppy the kiss of life (yes, actual mouth-to-mouth), saving him from the brink of death.

Ozzy was then rushed to a local vet, where he was treated for cardiac arrest and severe brain swelling. It's taken him several weeks to recover, but according to White, he's almost back to normal now.

Now when the family is bowling, Ozzy is kept locked safely away.

Heck, I hit my cat once. She jumped right in front of me, *THWACK* and she took off running.

She's still kicking. Granted, I didn't nail her in the temple, but still.

Gosh, now that is a little worse than your new flatscreen TV

Bob Barker said spayed or neutered, not clubbed like a baby seal (sweet sweet seal skin.)

That's so awful, but at least the puppy is ok.

Funny side note, Marquette is my hometown! BIG UP THE U.P.!

Good thing it was a puppy cuz CPR doesn't work on big dogs.

Sadly, it's about the only thing that's gone on there for quite some time.

The poor dog! Glad he's ok!
Although, I'm now waiting for the news to say how video games are causing violence towards animals.

 

[Tsuki Tanaka]

That's so horrible.

For the puppy, rather.

The woman, on the other hand, fails pretty hard.

 

[Vlane]

She called her dog Ozzy?

 

[Jumplion]

Awwwwwww, look at the picture with the puppie!

So cute! So glad it didn't die, it's just so adorable!

She called her dog Ozzy?

That's the first thing that I thought when I read this.

Pretty sad though. Good thing the dog ended up ok.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Wow, she must've swung that remote pretty hard to do that X_x

I just wonder if the puppy is afraid of the Wii now. Thats really sad that it had to happen like that...I BLAME VIDEO GAMES!

Clearly, if she was reading something like a book this never would have happened!

 

[Vlane]

Awwwwwww, look at the picture with the puppie!

So cute! So glad it didn't die, it's just so adorable!

It's too cute. Everytime I see that picture I think that the dog is some sort of demon who kills his owner.

But maybe that's just me.

This incident is evidence that we need strong legislation to protect ourselves from these terrible, puppy-killing games.

PS: glad to read that everything came out well in the end.

It's too cute to die.

Something about those two womens names that gives me the image of Marquette being a Pleasentville style suburbia. Least they werent the Smith's & Jone's I guess. Cute breed of dog

I'll buy a Pastie and a Pabst Blue Ribbon in Ironwood or Wakefield if you track her down and put a plushie Mario doll with the eye's 'x'-ed out on her doorstep.

It would be mouth-to-nose, mouth-to-mouth just doesn't work on long snouted animals unless you have some sort of specialised breathing mask.

Anyway, wow, I didn't think the damage would be quite that catastrophic o_o

You have to cup the muzzle of the dog in a certain way.
Yes, there is a specific way to perform Doggie CPR.
