`Holy cow, that was close´: Dog narrowly escapes falling branches in East York backyard
(The Star Movies)
 


The video shows a dog ambling around a snowy backyard. She suddenly bolts as heavy branches crash to the ground where she was standing just seconds before, a result of the ice storm and heavy winds that punished Toronto on Sunday. “All of a sudden, I heard this really loud crack,” said Ben Lucier, who made the video of his dog Sprocket in the backyard of his East York home. “I just dropped to my knees and called, ‘Come on, come on, come on, hurry up.’ As soon as the crack went, she was running toward me.” Lucier’s video was widely shared on social media, with commenters on Facebook remarking on Sprocket’s swift reaction.“Wow, smart doggo,” said one. “So fortunate that Sprocket had a 6th sense,” said another.Sprocket wasn’t the only one dealing with fallen branches in the wake of the weekend’s storm.

Our life kind of centres around them.”Lucier said the branches came from a tree in his neighbour’s yard, which had a large, visible split in it long before this weekend’s storm. “It’s been that way for years,” he said. “You could actually see when a big gust of wind came up, the gap in that crack would extend to two to three inches. With all the wind and everything it just couldn’t handle it. It was pretty much just a matter of time.” The towering Siberian elm had been wrapped with a cable for six years in an attempt to repair the split, said owner Michael Janzen.Janzen sa ...
