Gravity is your friend...unless it isn't.

A rogue deer, not bothering to find a crosswalk, dashes across the road, directly into the path of Mark's station wagon. Fearing that it's a friend of Sherlock Hooves or Faline Adler, Mark swerves to the side. As he, Rusty, and Sassy go careening off of the road (and presumably off of a cliff), the deer also heads into trouble, altering its path and unintentionally heading towards a collision with a seagull. They'll all be killed! Oh the humanity!
Or not. We shall assume that the deer and gull avoided each other, or maybe just got away with only a glancing blow. Mark, Rusty, and Sassy also managed to survive, crashing onto the beach, but unfortunately, while the three passengers got away relatively unscathed (except for the emotional trauma of the incident, of course) the station wagon was not so lucky and lost a tire on some rocks. I suppose it could be worse. It could have lost an axle or something like that, and yet, it could still be worse. Sassy, wild with freedom, goes running up and down the beach with Rusty trailing behind as he futilely tries to corral her. The rambunctious puppy dives under the precariously balanced car and as Rusty reaches for her, she backs right into the jack, which cannot be a good thing and signals the beginning of yet another adventure (or a very, very sad tale).

Knocked off balance by a mischievous puppy's rump, the jack falls away and with it the car. Unfortunately, Rusty was still trying to retrieve the wayward pup and is only able to get mostly out of the way of the falling vehicle, weighed down by camping equipment and that tool box (which will probably fall on his as well just to add insult to injury). Helpless to do anything in the split second disaster, Mark can only call out in alarm to the probably seriously injured boy. Way to go Mark. After all, the best way to take a young boy's mind off of poachers and the attempted murder of his puppy is for the puppy and the boy to be crushed by a falling car that will either leave both of them dead or one dead and one paralyzed or both paralyzed. Bravo, my friend. Bravo.
