True. Here is a worse story for you and sadly very true. You might have seen it in the papers a few weeks ago. Happened in Co Down.
Dog is overcome by slurry fumes and farmer jumps in to the slurry to save his dog. He is overcome also. His two sons also jump in and then his daughter.
Only his daughter survived.
Firemen had the awful job of retrieving their bodies.
Get your facts right, there was no dog involved....

The fatal accident happened on their farm on Saturday. There were initial reports that the tragedy began when a family dog fell into the slurry pit and members of the Spence family sought to rescue it but these turned out be unfounded.
