Every career has its own set of on-the-job hazards. For couriers, these can include traffic issues, temperature issues and poorly packaged materials. Sometimes, they must even transport odd materials, such as deceased animals. One can assume that before a Winnipeg courier took his position, he or she never assumed they would have to worry about their packages coming back to life.

Poor driver, driving down the road with his shipment. A deceased dog who was being transported for burial was among the packages. He hears a noise and a faint whimper. Looks back and the “dead dog” package is moving. Actually moving! Upon opening for inspection, the animal is alive and obvious happy to be.

How is this possible? Well most dogs pass without the official care of a veterinarian. When they do, the owners typically wait and feel for a breath. If they are inexperienced, they may miss a faint heartbeat and shallow breath. Likely, this dog was simply unconscious.
