Your pet may seem like everything, until your 14-year-old son drowns trying to save him. That was my only point ... it would be a much greater tragedy than simply the loss of a dog for an innocent boy to lose his life attempting to save an animal.

Like I said ... I am glad it worked out.

I am sure I share in all of humanity’s loss with your reduced contact.

Sensibility is often quickly forthcoming on this site. I was neither a jerk, nor snide ... but my position stands.

Why? he put on a life vest and he was in a kayak... seems to me the kid was pretty level-headed through the whole thing. Good for him.

For many, dogs are considered part of the "human" family. But I guess you know that.

What? Despite disagreement from strangers on the internet, your position stands?? My God, give this man a medal for bravery.
