Dog Rescue Gone Bad, But The Dog Was Saved (video)

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

You know you’re a redneck when… In this video, poor dog fell through thin ice into freezing cold water. Smarter than humans, dog did the best thing he could - nothing. Most death associated with falling through thin ice are because of drowning. At first, your body experiences major shock which could lead to an attempt for a big gasp of air. If you’re surrounded by water, you’re gonna fill your lungs with it and drown immediately. If you survive this initial shock and don’t drown, you can try to return to the part of the ice from where you fell in (it should be strong enough as it held you up to the point where you fell through), shake your legs so you get yourself to as horizontal a position as you can and try to slide on to the ice. Sometimes it doesn’t work and if first few attempts to get out fail, you will likely get your body to the point at which it doesn’t have enough power to get itself out of there. In such case, you must wait for help. It will take on average a few hours before cold water kills you. Put your hands on the ice and try to get someone to call help or throw you something to drag you out of there.

The dog in the video did exactly that - realized he could not spring himself out from the water on the ice, so he just waited. Despite my lecture on how not to kill yourself if you fall through thin ice, this video is not about it. It’s about stupid family that went overboard after their dog fell in cold water and third party rescue was needed.

Basically, first the moronic dad doesn’t appreciate the presence of the police. What were they supposed to do - they did not have the equipment to save the dog safely without sacrificing their own life. That’s always the idea of every rescue mission - make sure you don’t become a victim yourself. The police showed up, assessed the situation but found themselves unable to help with the equipment they had. They adviced the owner to wait for proper rescue team. The owner did not appreciate that and started yelling and pushing the officers. Into all that, his wife starts acting like a cunt and gets feisty with the news cameraman and the police too. What a fucking white trash family.

Watch the video for yourself - incredibly ungrateful family. I feel sorry for the dog. I wish they could find him a better family.

PS - you may need to fast forward to a 0.40 second mark of the video. The beginning is just a neverending notice that the video contains vulgar language.
