Dog Jumps In Van, Runs Over Girl Girl's Mother Says Van Was Running When Dog Jumped In POSTED: 2:48 pm CDT April 3, 2008 UPDATED: 7:31 pm CDT April 3, 2008 MARYVILLE, Tenn. -- A young east Tennessee girl was hurt when she was run over by her family's dog, WBIR-TV in Knoxville reported. Kalli Sipe suffered a punctured lung, bruises and a few scrapes when the family dog ran over her on Tuesday. Tire tread marks are still visible on Sipe's sides, WBIR reported. "I heard the engine running and I turned around to look, and I just remember screaming, 'No!'" said Kalli's mother, Keyna Sipe. WBIR's Anthony Welsch reported that while the family was loading scrap wood into their minivan, which was running, the dog ran toward it, jumped in and landed on the gas and drove over Kalli. Sipe said the van rolled all the way down Kalli's chest. The Blount County Sheriff's Department confirmed the incident, Welsch reported. Kalli, whose birthday also falls on April 1, will now have a story to tell that nobody will buy for the rest of her life. Sipe said she's not sure how the gear got switched in the van and said she thought it was in park. Kalli has since been released from an area hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Much more likely the mother was drunk and ran over the kid and then invented this preposterous story.

The article makes as much sense as your standard blather, but I digress. They ought to throw the book at the mother on several charges, none of which would be booze-related: - Allowing an unlicensed operator behind the wheel. - It's likely that the dog's age was well below the legal minimum for driving. Thus, allowing an underage driver at the wheel. - Leaving a vehicle running while unattended violates clean air acts in many locations. - I wonder if there's a dangerous-dog ordinance that might have been violated here. Several KC suburbs have them. What doesn't fit is that the incident was in Tennessee (cue the banjo music) and the vehicle was not a worn-out pickup. :^) On Apr 3, 8:43 pm, "Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS" <beta...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Much more likely the mother was drunk and ran over the kid and then > invented this preposterous story.

That reminds me: I was stopped at the Border Patrol checkpoint just east of Yuma, AZ, late one night. The officer, obviously trying to liven up a very tough duty shift, jokingly asked me if my dog (who was in the back) was a citizen. I answered "Yes, she was born in San Diego!" He smiled and waved us on through.  Signature"Dave's not here, man!" - Tommy Chong >> Did the dog have papers? If not it should be deported. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > citizen.

The only way I can see this happening is if the driver left the vehicle in drive but set the emergency brake. Enough to hold the vehicle at idle, but not when the engine revved. And if that's the case, the driver is an idiot who needs to be charged with child endangerment. Give her a year or two of probation and some follow up checks from CPS.

Is the dog gonna be all right? Signature"Dave's not here, man!" - Tommy Chong > Dog Jumps In Van, Runs Over Girl > Girl's Mother Says Van Was Running When Dog Jumped In Just like people, some dogs make better drivers than other dogs. German Sheppards and Australian Blue cattle dogs are good driving breeds. . explained : >> Dog Jumps In Van, Runs Over Girl >> Girl's Mother Says Van Was Running When Dog Jumped In > > Just like people, some dogs make better drivers than other dogs.
