Not quite raining cats and dogs, but definitely dogs.

No word yet as to the how the press will blame Israel on the unguided dog-bombing of an innocent civilian in Poland.

A man was bruised but alive yesterday after a Saint Bernard dog thrown out a two-storey window landed on him as he was walking down the street in the southern-Polish city of Sosnowiec.

The 50kg dog was pushed out of the window by its drunken owner on Monday, police said.

"The dog had a soft landing because it fell on a man," said police spokesman Grzegorz Wierzbicki.
