Meet Sweetie. She was hit by a car and showed no signs of life. Her owner buried her in the back yard. But after a couple hours, she came to, dug her way out, and greeted her surprised owner.

Isn't that the plot from Pet Sematary? I guess it depends on the greeting.

Sweetie's owner suddenly understood why the Pai Mei Obedience Class insisted on teaching each dog the three-inch punch technique.

Good one Polar, welcome to the Cellar.
It's fortunate for sweetie, her/his owner did a halfassed job of burying him/her. No shroud, not deep and not tamped down to prevent some animal from digging up the body.

I'm sure that Sweetie has some finer qualities, but that is one ugly-ass dog.

Is this thread from last year, or is there some sort of time warp going on?

Thread's from 2001!

Thanks UT, I was getting confused! (It's not hard for me)

If you go back into the achives, and add a post, it move to the head of the class. Polar has a way-back machine.:)

resurected!

Holy Moly.

Look into those doggies eyes--that pup has PTSD. I hope his owner is prepared to pay for some therapy.

No kidding. I had a male chow that I found dead in the yard, next to a dead snake. They took each other out! I felt some comfort in the fact that he died protecting his territory (chows were bred as imperial guard dogs). I wrapped my dog in white sheets and placed him inside an approx. 18" by 18" by 36" trunk.

With the help of a good friend, I dug a hole deep enough to get that trunk deep enough underground to prevent attracting the interest of other animals. This was made more difficult by the fact that about a foot down, the ground became solid clay which had to be hacked apart and picked out in chunks.

At the conclusion of this hard labor, I looked at the hole we had dug and I realized this could have been done with one scoop of a back-hoe. Things like this make you realize the incredible labor-saving advances technology has provided for us.

I have a Giant Schnauzer that likes to be buried at the beach. I'll look for a pic later.

Okay, now why does this thread keep getting resurrected?

I was wondering why Bri bought this back from the dead.

What were you *really* looking for Bri????

How do you reckon you'd look after being buried alive? lol

Every three years in May.

Maybe she was just sick of the dog and it was all a story. IS there anyone out there that can't look at a dog and see if it IS NOT breathing? That dog looks at least 20#. The owner ought to be locked up.

Was this thread burried alive?

this is from so long ago the dog is likely dead for real now.

Therapy for herself ! Sounds and looks like she threw a couple handfulls of sod on the poor thing.

I think any rational person would wait for the body cool and stiffen? Well I would. I couldn't bear to part without knowing for sure. I would never bury a warm body no matter how disfigured.

Are you kidding? Zombie dogs live forever.

Wow, 2001?
 

I wonder how that doggie is doing today?
