you may find a particular passage in Robert Edward Peary's account on the
recovery of the Saviksue or Great Cape York Meteorites interesting. On page
559 following of "Northwards Over The Great Ice", Vol. II, the great
explorer gives the only scientificly confirmed report of how a couple of
dogs got killed by a meteorite. More precisely, they got drowned by the
"Woman". I have paraphrased the episode on my website:

Just in case, this is intended as a post about Greenland meteorites, we do
not want to talk about Egypt, won't we.

cheers
