  i have 2 stories one first hand and a freinds..
 when iwas in 5th grade (years ago) my freinds yorkie was tied up outside to the porch.. with a collar not a harness. she had jumped through the bars on the porch and got her tie out caught on the boards and choked to death.. they didnt find her until they got home from church ): just makes us a little more cautious about collars and leaving our babies tied up
 
 my story isnt so sad but mitzy once fell down a flight of stairs.. my parents had just redone their stairs in wood.. she tried to go down them and slipped and flopped the whole way down.. i was screaming and shaking.. she seemed fine but i still took her to the vet in case. she was ok nothing broken at all.. stil scary
