First I must apologise for not posting one of these yesterday. Reasons for this were my PC decided it didn't really like the McAfee firewall i put on there and it was going to stamp its feet and not play. After much coaxing, urging, screaming and threatening I gave it one last chance and reinstalled everything. That will teach it. Anyway onto the story:
Dog Survives Euthanization at Mo. Chamber
Cast into a city gas chamber to be euthanized with other unwanted or unclaimed dogs, it appeared the roughly year-old Basenji mix had simply run out of luck and time.
But this canine had other ideas.
When the death chamber's door swung open Monday, the dog now dubbed Quentin for California's forbidding San Quentin State Prison stood very much alive, his tail and tongue wagging.
Animal-control supervisor Rosemary Ficken had never seen such a survivor, and she didn't have the nerve to slam the door shut again.
This 30-pound animal, she believed, beat the odds and should live on.
