    Surfer Saves Dog

    Tunred puter on tonight, AOL news came up and story about a surfer saving a dog in Lake Michigan.  The brown and black "mutt" was washed off the pier by a rather large wave and was being carried out.  the owner was screaming for his dog, but it couldn't make any progess back to shore.  A guy with a surf board went in and got just as the dog gavre up and stopped swimming, grabbed the dog by the collar and got him up on the surf board.  Anotehr guy came to help.  It was a struggle because the water was rugher than usual, but they got the dog to safety and to his owner.

     What a contrast to Vick and his cronies as to how to treat a dog, huh?

    What a great story!!

    How scary, I'd have probably ended up dead... I'm the idiot that would have jumped in trying to save my 'mutt'! I'm so glad that everyone is OK.

    Thanks for posting it! :)

    Oooo  that is scary!  I can't imagine how that owner would have felt if the surfer hadn't been able to help... Crying

     

    It is a fear of things like that which keeps my dogs in harnesses and long leashes on docks, piers etc.

    Wow, cool story!  The undertoes in Lake Michigan (especially around the piers and breakwaters) are killer (pun intended).
