Imagine you're hit by a meteorite.

Imagine you're killed by it.

Furthermore, you’re a dog. (Or you were.)

Yeah, you’re unlucky, (and no, that’s not your dog name) but you're also unique in documented history. You are the only dog to expire via this less than fortunate path of fate.

Your destiny was, it seems determined over a billion years ago when, it is assumed, a similar larger impact event occurred this time on Mars. Impact debris from the red planet was blasted off its surface and escaping the planet's gravitational clutches, seemed set to wander the interplanetary void indeterminately. Not however if you are you, the unnamed dog, resident of El Nakhla el Bahraria, rural Egypt in 1911.
As the lump of Martian magma enters the Earth’s atmosphere it is torn into several dozen fragments which will soon end their journey relatively violently on the sandy surface of our planet.

This apocryphal tale recounts an unusual and exceptionally rare event with an audience of one or less.
