"Animals are staring at what humans can't see." --Laurie Conrad

What Humans Can't See

A Canadian man, driving a car packed with weapons and 6000 rounds of ammunition, was intent on killing as many people as possible in a Toronto neighborhood but gave up the plan at the last minute when he encountered a friendly dog, police said. The mentally disturbed man had set himself up in an east-end park to load his weapons and then planned to drive around shooting. He later told police that a dog then approached and started playing with him. The encounter melted the man's heart, and he then went in search of police to give himself up.
