What kind of primitive doggy thoughts go through a doggy's head as it plummets to its doggy doom? Does its little doggy life flash before its little doggy eyes?
I also love the thrust of the guy's experiement. Would his conclusion not have been that it was the rat or the squirrel smell that was causing the dogs to jump had the dogs liked those smells better?
I used to date a girl who stopped a dog suicide once. Her friend was away on business for three weeks and she was going over every day to feed and entertain the dog. He'd never been away from the dog more than 4 or 5 days, and after the first week the dog got depressed. Early in the third week it must have decided its owner was never coming home, because it jumped into the swimming pool and sunk (it was a good swimmer, it sunk on purpose) and she had to dive in after it and pull it out before it drowned.
