At least five dogs have thrown themselves off the historic bridge at Overtoun House in Dunbarton, Scotland, in the past six months.
The bridge, which spans a 13m drop into a stream running underneath, is fast becoming known as Rover’s Leap because of the lemming-like approach it seems to inspire in apparently well-adjusted family pets.
“Dogs do not commit suicide. They have a strong fight-or-flight response,” Doreen Graham, of the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told The Glasgow Herald.
“The incidents at the bridge are of very great concern to us because we would like to understand why they are happening.”
Ian A. knows why: “I bow-wow before no man! My life is a waste! I can only sit and shake for treats! I will not let the man roll-over me again! Good-bye, cruel world!”
