A horrible, preventable, VERY COMMON fatal accident.

When we came home, Siri had been trapped for hours this way. The holes in the bag that saved her life were made by her, not by us.

Several families on mycorgi.com have lost dogs this way.

Eat from bowls or boxes, not bags:

Babyproof your home. Train everybody. It's a new habit, but easy to learn. Cut holes in food bags. Food waste goes in only ONE place, locked-up. We keep scissors hanging on cup hooks by the sink. Watch your visitors, who don't know bags are killers. Even in our vigilant home, I have found intact dog food bags on the basement floor (handy bags, I'd kept them for some reason, or they were in the recycling). Be alert when routines are changed: traveling, holidays, parties, in the car.

After plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, many human children died this way. Venetian blinds also kill dogs. And children.

Talk about this to other dog owners. You'll never know who you save.

Siri was a "gulper". We lost her to a choking accident. One bad day, we fed her something too big...
