Lucky dog survives gas chamber
Read Time:1 Minute, 33 Second
Most of the day’s news is sad and dreary. There’s a war here and a terrorist attack there. People are being wounded and killed ad nauseum.
The gas chamber is the last stop for millions of precious lives
The economy is in the toilet and millions are out of work. The threat of a Republican in the White House is very real, and once loyal Democrats are now calling themselves Progressives and betraying their leader with vile and unhealthy rhetoric. Dogs and cats are being put to death by the millions and the Japanese are still killing whales and sharks. These things make for a sad world.
Once in a while, however, there comes a story that brings a smile to our day and this is one of those stories:
Daniel, a twenty-pound beagle, was but one of eighteen dogs sent to the gas chamber on October 3 at the Animal Control Department in Florence, Alabama. The door closed and carbon monoxide was pumped in. When the door was opened again, all of the dogs were dead — except Daniel, who was wagging his tail like nothing happened. It’s possible he was able to raise his head above the carbon monoxide, which is heavier than air. It’s also possible that he is an immortal vampire dog who will live until the end of time. We may never know. Either way, thanks to an organization known as Eleventh Hour Rescue, Daniel now has a new home in New Jersey. We know, we know, but it’s better than the gas chamber.
Sadly, euthanasia is a necessary evil given the exploding population of dogs and cats. So, be responsible and spay and neuter your pets. You never know when they or one of their offspring will end up in the gas chamber.
Thanks to the New York Daily Magazine for this happy dog story.

Hey, just like that cat last week that survived the ordeal twice. Nice that he got a forever home.
I love stories like this.
Nice story. Has anyone seen the movie “Dean Spanley”? It’s a gem and not just for dog lovers.
I’ve not heard of it Frank, but will look for it now. Thanks.
