Wiimote strike 'killed' dog, saved by neighbor's mouth-to-mouth

[wraggster]

A Michigan woman nearly killed her dog when she accidentally struck it in the temple with a Wii Remote. Kathy White was playing Wii Sports' bowling with her daughter when she made the motion to roll her virtual ball and, as she puts it, hit the dog and "killed him instantly." The dog, Ozzy, was not moving or breathing. She called her neighbor -- who we're guessing must have some veterinary training -- and she revived the dog using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Ozzy was then taken to the real vet, who diagnosed the dog with "severe brain swelling" due to cardiac arrest. We've heard of Wiinjuries before (both possibly real and fake), but this is the first instance of potential "caninicide" we're aware of.

I heard this story on the radio yesterday on the way to school, and I have to say I laughed out loud. Sure some details were foggy then, like a daughter hit the dog and called her dad who did mouth-to-mouth- anyway, a totally bogus sounding story, quite hilarious really.
