There is a worse story that ended badly for the human. My colleague Gudrun has a New Foundland dog whom I call "the black hole" because if he lies in the dark he is just a darker shade of dark. One day 3 years ago she was working at home at her computer in the evening and had only the computer and a little lamp. When she finished she took the teapot and wanted to go down. Well there was Teddy in between and she badly broke her upper calves and her knee and she had to stay away from work for 2 months
I think the size is one of of the reasons why I prefer cats.
