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. Check out a television news report regarding the incident after the break.
Umm, I think she was using the strap. Besides, how would having the remote strapped to your hand have prevented her from cracking the dog in the head when it jumped directly in front of her hand as she was swinging it?
I don't know who's killed more dogs Michael Vick,or the Wii. Probably the Wii buy now,Nintedo needs to come out with some alternet wrist strap idea's FAST!!!
i think people should be put through a simple test when they buy a wii. question: can you hold a fucking rectangular object without flinging it around like a prick? If no, kindly piss off. That poor dog, man. People like that shouldn't be allowed the air they breathe.
