in Taiwan,
a dog was ran over by a truck , the dog owner called the police
when the police brought camera and arrived to the scene, they took pictures of the dead body of the dog,
but when the photo came out, the dog was actually standing alive in the photo. there were no dogs around the scene when the photo was taken, this is unexplainable.
the owner of the dog bursted into tears when she saw the photo

Dream Time is a chinese? XD

Anyway...it's strange...

But is the pic where the dog is under the truck the pic they took?

I don't believe this!

Having watched a lot of Taiwanese news on satellite T.V., I found many of their news stories were too dramatic or entertaining. Sometimes they even air 15 minutes of celebrity gossips during the six o'clock news, which is so weird to me. Besides, Taiwanese people are known to be very superstitiousﾂ… so this kind of mysteries will probably attract a lot of readers.

Tsss, fake or illussion. Dead dogs can't walk.

Maybe the car backed over the dog and the picture was taken right before.

which would mean that they put the dog under the wheel purposely

Hmm, with this you could fire up a discussion on how reliable news is these days. Wouldn't be a first time a news-agency makes up stories to fill it's pages. Remember, photo's can be easily manipulated.

These days it's a pretty healthy thing to always question what you read or see.

I believe it was Joseph Campbell who studied it, but not too sure. Newspaper reporters often reuse old legends or fabricate stories when pressed for a deadline. One classical example is the episode of the old man who lost his ****s in the exploding out house. Editors did not mind such minor offenses because of the humor they generated; they were only innocent white lies in which nobody got hurt. I don't know about the Taiwanese dog, but this could be one of those made up legends.

I just find it sad that the writer's imagination stopped when the dog come back to life only in the photograph. Why didn't he/she bring it back to full life so the pair could live happily ever after? If indeed this was intentional, the tantalizing photo was used only to increase the tragic effect of the story. I think I recognize a subgenre in Chinese pop literature that enjoys this type of semi-fable machinery. I wonder if it has a name?
