Euthanized Rottweiler comes back to life
A dog in Michigan has surprised its owner by coming back to life after being put down. Owner Matt Olivarez, 27, took
Mia, his 11-year-old Rottweiler, to be euthanized because of a painful spinal condition. Returning from the vet, Olivarez stored Mia’s corpse in the garage to be buried later, but the next morning he found Mia standing on all fours and staring at him. “It was like a scene from Pet Sematary,” says Olivarez.

The odds of the repeat draw were estimated at one in 4 trillion, prompting complaints to Israel’s National Lottery Authority. “We are in the business of luck,” said chief mathematician Dr. Chaim Melamed. “Anything is possible, even the rare and infrequent.”
