What kind of knot was tied in the scarf?? Just doesn't sound right. Still a tragedy.
It doesn't have to have anything to do with the type of knot. If the dog was pulling on the scarf, the scarf just has to put enough pressure on the throat to restrict air flow, the knot doesn't have to get tighter. Even a single knotted scarf pulled the wrong way could do this without coming untied. It is a terrible tragedy.
Prayers for the family...
Maybe the kind many little girls learn to tie their shoes with?
BTW, taglines can be fun, but not every tagline is appropriate on every thread...just a hint. JJR RNCH (Its only funny until someone gets hurt, then its hilarious.)
