Lol, if you didn't get licked to death then there are two other options available - Drowned by drool (samples can be provided on request ), or..
Snorted to death (definate yuck and involves heavy drenching of nose saliva)
A couple of hours after this photo was taken we called into some friends and Millie (on the left) jumped out of the driver's open (luckily) window when she saw their Labrador [:0]
