Akeley, Minnesota – Jerry, a Labrador

      Retriever, died in a freak accident that

      also cost Harry Jenkins his new Ford

      truck. It seems Mr. Jenkins and his two

      buddies went ice fishing one day at nearby

      Ten Mile Lake which was completely iced

      over. In an attempt to create a large hole for

      fishing quickly, Mr. Jenkins first lit, then

      tossed a stick of illegally obtained dynamite

      across the ice. To his horror, his pet dog

      raced across the ice in an attempt to retrieve

      the dynamite. The dog fetched the dynamite

      despite screams from the men to come back,

      but then they realized they were in worse

      danger than they thought when the dog began

      to return to them with the stick in his mouth.

      Now the three men began to run in the opposite

      direction for their lives with the dog chasing

      them. The men narrowly escaped death in this

      way, but the explosion damaged the ice near

      the truck, which then plunged to the bottom of

      the lake. In addition to losing his dog,

      Mr. Jenkins was a double loser when the

      insurance company refused to pay on his claim

      for the sunken truck.
