Old Man Slams Terrier





NAPERVILLE, Ill. – Three suburban Chicago firefighters rescued a small dog that became trapped inside a mechanized recliner chair by sawing the piece of furniture apart.


The crew of three arrived at the Sunrise of Naperville assisted living centre on Thursday to find a nurse's aide pulling on the chair to try and let the 5-year-old dog breathe. But after the chair was taken apart, Ebonyser was successfully freed.

Eighty-seven-year-old owner Ken Makris says his terrier, Ebonyser, has nerve damage following his Thursday night ordeal but that he is "coming along fine." Makris says the 5-year-old terrier is on painkillers but that he was able to go out for a walk Monday.

This is the second dog-swallowing-chair incident in recent weeks, after a spaniel in Torquay was also freed by firefighters after being captured by a recliner in March.



How exactly does a dog get stuck inside a piece of furniture? I assume Ken Makris was watching his old people shows (i.e. American Idol, Survivor, and Girls Gone Wild)with his dog, Ebonyser, giving themselves red rockets, and accidentally jerked the recliner closed. I feel like Ken got a little too lonely, bought a jar of peanut butter, and let Ebonyser go to town. Poor pooch, never saw ken cumming. What kind of painkillers does this dog get? And If I slam my leg in the recliner, can I get some codeine?

By the way, I haven't heard the name Ebonyser, since Ebonezer Scrooge, from A Christmas Carol (circa 1843).
