My wife was driving the pontoon boat last Saturday at 22 mph with my BIL, SIL, my daughter, her husband, and their pug aboard. Beautiful sunny 77° day on flat water.
Long story short, the dog jumped over the front of the boat through the tunnel. I heard my daughter shriek, "WHERE's MY DOG !!!!" it was blood curdling. I instinctively stood up and looked back to see a massive circle of blood 200 yards back. I just went to my daughter and put her head into my chest and said I'm so sorry baby... She's gone.
I fished it out keeping the wounds under it so no one would see the extent of the injuries. Thank God it bled out and the head was intact. I got to deal with all that after we got back to the dock and they went back to the house.
The loop is finally fading after a week. It was just horrific.

On top of that, my sister and FIL died early 2020.
