Thanks for starting this thread Pat. I have belonged to various dog forums for several years and have repeatedly heard of other puppies that have met the same fate from similar accidents. It sure doesn't hurt to repeat the warnings and remind those of us whom have had our dogs for a while. The only time I use a harness or collar is when taking them on walks. It's so scary to know that they can actually be hung from an item most people feel will help identify them should the become lost. Don't know if anyone has mentioned the dangers of bras hanging from doorknobs. I knew of a lady whose little one would play tug of war with hers and she found her twisted and hanging from it one day. She was very lucky and found her before she was injured. I guess the cardboard box and the dryer deaths are new ones to me. Along the lines of the cardboard box tragedy is something I always worry about and that’s making sure that I have the door engaged and shut properly on the crate. I always check it several times for fear of Mia trying to nose her way out and becoming hung in it. I really don't think training is always the key to avoiding accident.
