I had to do the same last year. I had a wee Cairn Terrier. Totally heartbreaking.

Former Olympic 200m champion Pietro Mennea dies, aged 60

The sprinter won 200m gold at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, beating Britain's 100m champion Alan Wells into second place.
Mennea also won bronze in the 4x400 relay at the same Olympics, to add to a 200m bronze from the 1972 Munich Games.


He broke the 200m world record in 1979 with a time of 19.72 seconds, a record that stood for 17 years until Michael Johnson ran 19.66 in 1996.
American Johnson's record was bettered by Jamaica's Usain Bolt at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and now stands at 19.19 - but Mennea's time remains the European record.
Later a Member of the European Parliament following his retirement from athletics, Mennea also collected three European Championship golds at 100m and 200m during his career.
Italian National Olympic Committee president Giovanni Malago said Mennea's body would lie in state at Olympic committee headquarters. No cause of death has been announced.
