I've just read about a dog in a rescue who died of bloat. The woman who runs the rescue, having seen it before, had the dog at the vet's within 15 minutes of the very first signs, but it was still too late to save her She posted a video of a dog with bloat which I thought would be worth posting here - we read about the signs often enough, but seeing the behaviour of a dog with bloat may well stick in the mind better.

BTW, if you're unsure about watching the video, it has a happy ending - the dog survived
