Detroitnews.com: Redford Township — Mia the Rottweiler has a new leash, er, lease on life. The dog, which seemingly came back to life the morning after an apparently botched euthanasia, won't be put to sleep a second time, said its owner. "I don't know if I could do it a second time," he said. A receptionist at Westcott declined to discuss the incident. Olivarez said Westcott officials told him they were baffled by the case. Olivarez decided to have the elderly animal put to sleep because of a spinal problem that makes it difficult for her to walk. Following the attempted euthanasia Saturday afternoon, Olivarez brought the dormant dog home and left her on a pile of hay in his garage. He was thinking of burying her in his grandfather's expansive backyard. The next morning, he walked into the locked garage and discovered Mia missing. He turned around and saw her, standing on all fours, staring at him. "Are you still my dog?" he wondered. A fan of scary movies, Olivarez thought he had walked into one. "Can you imagine how I felt?" he asked. "It was like a scene from 'Pet Sematary.'"One person who isn't surprised by Mia's resilience is Olivarez's mother, Brenda Shead. Mia was the only member of her litter to survive, she said. "She has a strong will," she said. "She doesn't give up."
Lots to deal with here. I'll take it in list form please:
1. "Dog makes deal with devil; Plans on eating owner" should have been the headline of this story.
2. You're not going to try and put her down a second time? What? A death sentence is a DEATH sentence. Not, "We'll try it and if you don't like, you know, we'll try something else ok?" sentence.
3. The dog has a spinal problem. Given the choice, she would probably CHOOSE death. I mean you're in Detroit. If you can't find someone to kill this dog just by walking down the street, go to Geoff Fieger's office and wait for Dr. Kevorkian to stop by.
4. They give you the dead dog's body back? What? Like a souvenir? And then you leave it in your garage overnight? Jesus. Unless your planning on making Rotweiler Stew, tell them to keep it and move on. I mean you signed the death warrant right?
5. You've SEEN Pet Semetary. You KNOW how this ends. You're the one who dies. You need a priest and some fucking big guns and I mean quick.
6. Finally, your mother saw this coming the whole time apparently. Of course she did. Listen to your mother
