BarkLessWagMore Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Man was walking his 3 golden retreivers in Hyde Park in the falls. Went after one of his goldens who ventured out onto the lake. He fell in and subsequently died despite a heroic effort by NF Fire Dept. Notice the one older golden that had fallen in the water holding the man's glove. Just heartbreaking.
Just Jack Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Hopefully one person can adopt the dogs to keep the "family" together.
shrader Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 That's a lot of cops/firefighters. How long was he in there before he got that much of a response?
UConn James Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Oh dear. Make no mistake, that is an act of pure love. I'm a softie for dogs, so I imagine that I'd want to do the same but common sense dictates certain things. The caption indicates that the dog was on the ice, not that it fell through. It sounds dumb to ask but could he not have called the dog back... but then I'm guessing he probably did. My little boy is on his leash 100 percent of the time when outside.

Ironically, the shelter's board president, Brandy Scrufari, is the man's cousin. Were going to make a determination as to where they're going to go. One thing we are adamant about is that they all three stay together, he said.

Considering the dog with glove is drenched, I'm guessing the puppy fell through first. Either way, its tragic and like you said, born of love for man's best friend.
erynthered Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 on his leash 100 percent of the time when outside. Sad. But maybe could have been avoided.
