Street sweeper sucks up dog

[Analoguesat]

Not being an animal lover I found this BBC story hilarious:


A street-sweeping truck has sucked a dog up through its bristles on a New York street, leaving its horrified owner holding nothing but the lead.

Robert Machin, 57, had just finished walking his two Boston terriers in the Bronx and was about to load them into his car when the truck appeared.

He recalls being whipped around, only to glimpse Ginger meeting her end in the sweeper's round brushes.

City sanitation officers described the dog's death as "rare and unfortunate".

But Mr Machin, a retired public transport worker, questioned whether the driver had been observing proper procedures.

The truck, he said, seemed to have been barrelling through the street at an unsafe speed.

Thats terrible but still amusing at the same time.

One way to keep the streets clear of 'dog mess' I suppose.

Forget the 'poop' go for the dog instead.
