We've got a wonderful investigation for you today of an infamous stone bridge in Scotland

where dogs are said to cast themselves over the side in a deliberate act of suicide.

The suicide dogs of Overton Bridge is coming up next, Unskeptoid.

Hey everyone, Brian here, a quick favor.

We are conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

Also surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEPTOID.
