Car rolls as pet dies

It went from bad to worse for Bodine the chihuahua yesterday. After an attack by a larger dog, Bodine was being rushed to the vet by his owner, a Stratford grandmother in her 70s.

As the car came to the brow of a hill on Beaconsfield Rd, Bodine stopped breathing. Distracted by the mini canine's state, the driver lost control and flipped the vehicle.

Bodine was dead when the police arrived. The grandmother and her granddaughter were unharmed, but obviously distraught to have lost their companion.

True story!
