Dog Consumed by Killer Couch

Dog Consumed by Killer Couch

Another day, another tragic couch disaster.  In what feels like a story stuck on constant replay, area pooch Zoey was lost to a killer couch early this morning.  Police responded to a 911 call at 10:25 AM, but were unable to extricate Zoey, who was already almost completely consumed by the iron grip of the couch when first responders arrived on the scene.

This is the fifteenth such couch accident in the city this year, which is already above the total number in all of 2011.  Though some incidents end with good news, most end in tragedy.

“These accidents are preventable,” said Kurt Brookover, founder of non-profit group Citizens for Couch Safety.  "The city needs to do more to make our couches safe and educate the public on how to avoid being sucked into dangerous couch cushion currents.“
