It absolutely baffles me how states are able to botch executions like they’re doing. I’ve had many dogs over my lifetime and sadly that means I’ve seen many of them off to the rainbow bridge at the ends of theirs, and there’s never been a botched euthanasia. I guess vets are just more professional and compassionate than these executioners.
I oppose the death penalty universally. But I’ve long argued that if you absolutely must execute someone and must avoid the messiness of exploding their brain for instant painlessness and reliability, then nitrogen gas asphyxiation is probably the best way to go - completely painless and incredibly hard to botch. Just flood the room with nitrogen gas, how hard is that? It’s a common industrial accident. And yet there was a case recently where a state tried nitrogen gas asphyxiation and the monsters somehow managed to botch even that.
Different rainbow bridge with a different afterlife on the other end. I hope the signage is clear. I can only imagine a couple of very confused Vikings are wandering around, perhaps disappointed there’s no big battles to participate in but on the plus side having tons of dogs that are happy to see them there. And conversely, a couple of good bois running around Odin’s hall having fun with all the commotion and feasting and whatnot going on there.
An execution is bad, but a lengthy botched one is worse.

Never heard the rainbow bridge saying, does that imply that dogs go to Valhalla? I guess the wild hunt would need hounds.
Seems to be from some short stories and poems that have been published over the years.
