Bowling itself isn't a particularly dangerous sport. But Wii Bowling nearly ended it all for one tiny pup, when his owner brained him so hard with the remote that the wee doggy had to be revived with mouth-to-mouth.

The White family was enjoying with their new Wii when Ozzy the Sheltie happened to jump up at the precise moment that Kathy White lost control of the remote. She bludgeoned him to death then and there. The little doggie dropped to the carpet lifeless, and that's when everybody freaked out. Kathy called her neighbor, who came over and gave Ozzy the kiss of life.

After being resuscitated with a little puppy CPR, Ozzy was rushed to vet, who said he had extreme brain swelling and was experiencing cardiac arrest. (Yikes!)

Ozzy is convalescing nicely and should be back to yipping and being adorable in no time. But there's a lesson to be learned: Always wear the wrist strap on the Wii remote if you want to keep from braining the ones you love.

Of course, dogs aren't the only victims of this high-tech health craze. Docs in the U.K. are seeing a surge in patients suffering from "Wii Knee." But don't worry, we're not asking you to give up your console for your health -- video games can actually cure other conditions.
