Dog nearly killed thanks to the Wii remote

Well, this is a rather odd story. 5-month old dog Ozzie was nearly killed by a Wii remote while owner Kathy White was playing Wii Sports Bowling. The White family had recently purchased the Wii for Christmas and wanted to try it out. Kathy White and her daughter were interested in trying the system out but Kathy accidentally smacked the dog in the temple with the Wiimote while going through bowling motions.

That blow apparently killed the dog instantly. White needed some help and called on the assistance of her neighbor. The neighbor checked for a pulse and shortly thereafter gave him a breath. After a few breaths, Ozzie coughed and was revived.

White rushed Ozzie to the vet and it was discovered that the dog had severe brain swelling and was in cardiac arrest. Fortunately, Ozzie had been able to recover for the most part and is only a little less energetic than he used to be. Ozzie is no longer allowed to be in the same area where the White family plays the Wii.
