I'm not sure how it explains why the dogs that survive jump again.

Don't get me wrong. Dogs can be really intelligent. But when it comes to that "OMG WTF IS THAT?! I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!" they lose their intelligence. lol I can easily see a dog doign somehting like that twice.

Just like humans.

A few times I've seen my mates dog run straight into the pool when chasing a ball or messing around. It's like it forgets you cant walk on water. Just like what Coffey said, dogs become so focused on one thing they lose focus on everything else.

Haha, yeah exactly that's a good example of what I was talking about.

Most animals are smart enough to not do things that caused them near fatal injuries. I could understand how that could happen the first time, but nothing will attempt to do the same thing that got them near dead.
The dogs that jumped off twice had multiple broken bones.
Even babies learn, my 8 month old cousin crawled head first into the corner of a coffee table, she doesn't go anywhere near it anymore. I am pretty sure dogs are older than 8 month old babies.

Erm, meant smarter, not older. Lol

You do not have much experience hunting do you?.......Or fishing?

Sorry, I love dogs, more than people, but when they get very excited about something, they do not think to much about the consequences......I could give you numerous hunting stories ( and how animals do not learn from their mistakes ), but I will stick to 2 dogs , one I had, and one a friend had.........Both had been hit by cars on Probasco way in Sparks,Nevada......Twice!

Mine 3 months apart, his about a year apart.....They would get out and try to get to a house that had dogs in heat.


Seagulls........Do you know how many times you can hook a seagull when fishing for salmon, release it, and the stupid thing does it again?


Deer:  " duh, what are those bright shiny things heading straight at me, let me stand here and see "

Not too great of examples, but babies show fear of falling off high places, such as a table or stairs.
All of those mentioned involved unnatural reasons. Cars and fish hooks.

The dogs made an effort to get onto the railing and jump off.
Also the dogs jump off various places on the bridge, just read that his guy threw his son off the bridge because he was the antichrist, not sure on it's validity, but it is interesting O.O

You know you are right.....The simple, explainable, and real facts are just soooooo boring.

It has to be something paranormal, it has to.

Not really, it just doesn't have to be the most simple and ignorant one.

So if you broke all your limbs from going too close to a cliff and are still in shock and more than likely dying, you would still crawl with your broken limbs to fall off again?

That is what happened in all the cases where the dogs survived and were brought back to the bridge while they were dying from the broken limbs.

Depends on how drunk I am and what the mink smells like.

Lets assume the dogs were mildly buzzed.

I'd assume they were intoxicated.
