   wow. no way in the world would my dog ever figure that out. not to mention the fact that he wouldn’t jump INTO a bathtub to (literally) save his own life. i love him dearly - but smart, he is not.

   My boss’s dog survived a fire in their condo the same way. They thought he had died in teh fire until the next day when they found out that he was located in teh tub.

   In the process of breathing the air in the tub drain, wouldn’t you be just inhaling the smoke in the room through the overflow drain. They are connected. Like if you put a plunger on your drain to clear a clog, you just end up sucking air through the overflow drain; thats why you have to plug that with a wet towel or something.

   Christopher has a point. The tub drain has a trap that’s filled with water to prevent sewer gas from entering the room, so the dog would just be breathing through the overflow. There’s a vent to the roof, but that vent’s on the other side of the trap — it isn’t possible to get air through a drain. It’s possible, I suppose, that the fire boiled the water out of the trap…
