Food Bites Woman

It was only a matter of time before we saw a story like this, Woman ill after eating recalled dog food:

OTTAWA -- An Ottawa, Canada woman has become violently ill after eating some of her dog's food.

It's a case that could be related to the tainted pet food that has killed several dogs and cat's and sickened dozens more across in Canada and the United States.

Elaine Larabie tells the Ottawa Citizen that for three days she suffered symptoms that included loss of appetite, vomiting, foaming at the mouth and trouble urinating. She went to an emergency room on Tuesday and is now awaiting test results from blood work.

After noticing her dog, Missy, wasn't eating, Larabie said she took bites of Iams pet food in order to trick the terrier into thinking it was people food.

The ploy worked and the mealtime routine continued for about two weeks until both dog and master became sick on March 17.

The only surprise (other than learning that someone would eat dog food for TWO WEEKS to appease a finicky pup) is that the story came out of Canada and not the heartless America of George W. Bush where starving senior citizens have no doubt been reduced to eating dog food as they did in the days of Reagan.
