that's simply awful! poor dog. but glad they gave her a chance to keep going. my shredder is in a gated off room that the dogs can't get into and i think it's always off or unplugged too. we'll be very careful though! thanks Nancy.

Be careful with treadmills too. A little over 2 years ago, I fell and caught my hand in the track with it still going. I'll just say it wasn't pretty so that I won't gross everyone out. I couldn't use my hand for about 6 months and still have permanent damage. The doctor said he had heard of people getting scalped when their hair got caught in a treadmill. I never let any of my dogs in the room with our fitness equipment. I hate to think what it could do to a little paw or tail. Thanks for the tip about paper shredders. I would have never even thought about that being a hazard for a dog.

OMGoodness...At first I thought you was talking about Yorkies that shred paper...I was gonna answer, yes I have a paper shredder and his name is Harley. but than I read the post.

Oh My, That poor baby. My heart fell to the floor when they said they were gonna put her to sleep, I'm so glad their Vet did a study before doing that...what a miracle baby she is...I don't own a paper shredder "Machine" and now that I have read this I never will....Thanks for the heads up

OMG that's horrible.

We let our dogs shred our stuff that needs shredded. They love tearing up paper!

We have had kids in our house so long that the shredder stays on a floor where the animals aren't allowed to go and it stays turned off unless in use.
They are just scary things!!
