“Gun Death” Garbage Truck

This is a sad one:

A doting dog owner, desperate to save her beloved Boston terrier, was crushed beneath a 20-ton garbage truck Wednesday after shoving her canine companion to safety.

… As Haeflinger and Violet walked through Chelsea around 10 a.m., the black-and-white terrier ran off to chase another dog and bolted beneath the idling truck — her owner giving chase, witnesses said.

Haeflinger skidded on the street while stooping to rescue the 8-year-old dog, and disappeared underneath the double set of wheels near the rear of the vehicle.

Super sad. The woman’s dog ran under a garbage truck chasing another dog. When she went to pull the dog out before the truck could kill it, she died herself.

I think the obvious solution is to ban garbage trucks! Is it too much to ask New York City residents to haul their own garbage to the landfill?

IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE!!11!!!
