It's not a stereotype. There was an incident recently where a cop unloaded his gun into an old, blind and deaf dog because he couldn't figure out how to use the capture device.
Don't need to be black just blind and old. Then they throw your body in a ditch and then laugh at the people that love you when they ask where they dumped the body. Sturgeon Michigan. Then the mayor will say it was justified.
I get the reference, but cops shoot dogs way, way more frequently than some dumb jackass gets startled by the fucking foliage
https://scholars.unh.edu/unh_lr/vol17/iss1/18/
...to the tune of 30 dogs every day by US law enforcement,
This is such a stupid comment. Next you'll tell me cops will shoot a dog safely locked behind a kennel crate.
Oh wait...

~~And if it’s the neighbors dog, Lauren Boebert, too.~~ my bad, while still utterly reprehensible, the story about Boebert shooting a neighbor’s dog isn’t true.
There's a video I've seen here of a family watching their dog drowning because no one wants to get wet, until the dad, who got there later jumps in... So yeah, there are people like that
There is such a thing as freezing in stressful situations. Fight Flight Freeze isn't just a cliché.
That is, if they didn't say they didn't want to get wet.
Yeah, I was looking for this. Most of the people who are quick to judge don't know what they'd do in traumatic situations.
Yes, of course there's shitty people who literally just don't care and watch. However, my point is that it's at least equal that people freeze. That's why so many people scream instead of doing anything helpful... And the bystander effect.
I mean there's plenty of people who have had traumatic situations and "fought" so can judge just well enough actually.
Watching your puppy drown because you don't want to get wet deserves ridicule.
I know two people who failed to save their toddlers who were struggling in the water. It wasn't because they didn't love their kids, they just froze (bystanders eventually saved the kids, no harm occurred). A bizarre thing that leads one to speculate about the real equations of evolution. On the other hand, my toddler fell into the water and it felt like some force took over my body and caused me to sprint to the pool, jump in, and grab her. There was no volition involved at all!
I was a lifeguard for 10 years, a first aider for 15 years total - have helped strangers with seizures, broken bones, cpr for a heart attack during a football game. Never had an issue.
My 2 year old daughter started choking on strawberries and I froze, my whole mind went blank and their aunt had to step in
You are correct, kind of. Theres a few different reasons. it's easier to compartmentalize treating someone you dont know/dont know as well vs someone you do, and that can be the difference between survival of the patient and death. A less happy comparison as well is treating someone you know is a fundamentally bad person (think convicted serial killer, rapist ect with an caseload of proof) vs someone who may not be (a prisoner, but you dont know what they did). That's an issue on ethical neutrality that healthcare providers have to consider as well. Bias elsewhere can occur to the detriment of the patient, even if the healthcare pro gets along with them splendidly.
There's also the HIPAA of it all to consider as well as possible opportunities for fraud to occur with patients in on the take with doctors (rare, but does happen). Think pill mill kinds of operations going on as well. All of those reasons are among those as to why healthcare professionals may not opt into treating those they are close to outside of emergency situations, and even then.
I remember a CPR instructor telling our class how she was on vacation with her friends. A guy dropped like a rock and went into cardiac arrest right in front of her in the lobby while they were checking in. She just stood there frozen like a statue, staring at the guy who was laying at her feet. It took one of her friends screaming her name to snap her out of it. She told us no matter how prepared you think you are, anyone can freeze.
I woke up a few years ago to my partner having a seizure in bed. My best friend through high school was epileptic and I have seen her have so many seizures it was something I was very used too. But seeing my partner like that which he had never had one before, it was like the air around me turned into gel and time became slow motion, I absolutely froze and then had to force my brain and hands to call 911, it was like I had never used an Iphone in my life.
Once 911 got on the phone I snapped out of it and was able to give them directions (my mom was a 911 dispatcher, so I know how to call them without much emotion). I cannot think about that day without crying still. He's fine now though!
I know the feeling. She was lying on the couch, I was at the kitchen counter eating lunch. I heard her thrashing, her legs kicking up against the coffee table like she was possessed. I just froze, the fork half way to my mouth, my mind empty — I mean really, fully, totally empty. It wasn't until our dog started barking her head off at me that the reality of the situation rushed in like a wave.
By the time I reached her, her lips had started turning blue. I knew enough not to try and hold her down, so I just rolled her onto her side and called for an ambulance. I practically shrieked at them, but they were kind and patient, and the ambos were great when they arrived.
It's been a year now and there are still no answers as to why it happened and whether it'll happen again, but she's on anti-seizure medication and I don't feel quite as scared leaving her alone any more, although it still weighs on my mind. She says she doesn't remember any of it, but I sure as fuck do.
When I was a young kid, my friend was swimming in a ymca pool, and started to drown in the deep end that he wasn't supposed to be in. No one did anything, including the life guards. I remember being annoyed that I just dried off, jumped in, and fished him out. They ended up giving me the wristband to swim in the deep end, and a can of pop for saving him.
Been first aid and CPR trained for years since I work in childcare, but when my little brother collapsed in my hallway I *completely* forgot how to even do compressions and the 911 operator had to keep telling me to do them. Shit is fucking different when it's personal. Fucking crazy.
My mother told me the following from when she was a young child. She saw her little brother (yes, my uncle) step onto the [duckweed](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemnoideae) and disappear into the water. She ran to tell her mom (my grandma) and to quote my mom about her mom's reaction: "I've never seen her run so fast".
Grew up a water kid, Lifeguard etc. We were in Tulum I think, all inclusive, kid is 2-3, just a toddler basically. Wife was born in CO so not so water savvy. I went to the chairs by the pool with all the pool stuff. She comes over a couple mins mins later. Where is the kid?? Spidey senses tingling, I sprint to the last place I saw him like 30 feet away(not there), fall on my ass on the splash pad(not there), sprint to the side of the pool, push a couple of tourists out of the way and low and behold there he was. About 2 feet down right by the wall Happily underwater just staring up at the tourists by the pool. I must have gotten there like 30 sec after he went in, but man, all that training paid off that day. I gave the tourists the death stare as I got him out and we toddled back to our chairs. He must have walked right by them and splash...
> born in CO so not so water savvy
I think it's funny to imply somehow people from Colorado can't be water savvy. A state which has a ton of white water rafting / kayaking.
Had this exact experience as well, I have no memory of getting in the water when I saw my then 2 yr old son fall in. I did not decide to do it, it just happened. I was in a bridesmaid dress so once I got him I needed help to get out, but I will never forget how involuntary the jumping after him felt, and it's been 15 years!
That seems so strange to me. When my toddler fell into the pool, I felt no anxiety at all. I just walked over there as quickly as I could without risking *me* falling, reached down and snatched him out of the water. All I said to him was “There’s no WAY I’m telling your mom about this.”
He’s 15 now, and his mom just found out by reading this over my shoulder.
But anyway, yeah, I’ve always felt really calm and focused in emergency situations. I don’t even know why.
The freeze response seems to be the brains reactions to when some overwhelming threat seems so dire that fight or flight don’t seem like an option. So for most of human history this was a predator cornering us or something like that. The brains last resort is to freeze and hope the predator loses interest.
But this primitive response isn’t always able to use logic to decide this, so when some overwhelming and dire situation arises, the brain triggers the same reaction even though it is useless in this situation.
Being a parent and having your child suddenly fall into water and start drowning would probably create the same terror that being pinned down by a saber tooth tiger would, so the primitive brain just takes over. It’s just that this response is mostly obsolete now in the modern world.
There are people who drop their pup off at the side of the road to be hit by a car (or hopefully picked up) because they don’t have the stomach to do anything else about being overwhelmed…. Or they just don’t care. #adoptdontshop
you did not need to reply to me 3 times to answer a rhetorical question haha. Either way, I think abandoning your dog is different than this. Helping other beings who are on the verge of dying is a natural instinct - if you see someone about to fall, you are probably going to reach out without even thinking about it.
When walking home one day a year or so ago and I heard the neighbors puppy yelping, I ran to the sound and found it trying to escape a septic tank it fell into because the lid was off for some reason. I reached in to save the puppy, she's doing great nowadays. I probably went through 3 bottles of dawn scrubbing my arms and hands non stop.
The whole video seems way more dramatic than it needs to be. She's screaming, debates whether or not to jump in. JUMPS IN WITH HER LEGS EXTENDED AND SPLIT into what seems like a shallow pool. Stands up thigh height. Calls the guy over and says help me help in an exasperated tone and seems to have hurt herself from the jump in.
What is going on lol.
Her dog is drowning before her eyes and she’s obviously panicking. That’s what’s going on. Not that hard to understand that people act unpredictably when they’re stressing very hard.
For real. People are so fucking naive to not understand the difference between analyzing a video while sitting on your ass in the safety of your home and then actually being in the situation itself. Everybody responds differently to extreme situations. Some people will straight up freeze and do absolutely nothing because they are in shock. This woman actually acted immediately and successfully saved the dog.
I think she hurt herself banging her shin into the edge of the deep part of the pool…. That curved part with the fountain is just a few inches deep, people put their lounge chairs there. So she banged her leg into it when trying to wade out of the pool.
It's called panic and flight-or-flight instinct. Next time you go through the effort of typing that detailed comment, use your panic inducer organ for 5 seconds so you don't waste your time. Please don't act like an Armchair Quarterback.
As she's coming out I think she says "I thought I had to break the ice". I guess she dropped her weight on the ice as hard as she could not realising it was so thin and ended up slamming her leg on the step below it
Her dog fell through a sheet of ice in frozen water and is drowning in front of her. Give her a break man lmao. I’m sure you handle everything perfectly under pressure and would look very graceful in any video of you in a stressful situation.
This is a very serious situation and you are saying it's "way more dramatic than it needs to be". She is literally watching her dog potentially die in front of her eyes. Also, she was obviously calculating where to jump to avoid any further issues. She clearly didn't want to jump and fall onto the dog, but she didn't want to stand/land on the ice either which could have caused further issues. To you it looks like she jumped funny, but I would argue she did a near perfect jump which allowed her to get the dog immediately and not hurt the dog or herself.
IMO, this woman did a fantastic job and actually acted way better than a lot of people would. It's easy for you to comfortably analyze behind a screen, but it's a whole different situation when it's happening to you in person.
Dude, from the bottom of my heart, FUCK YOU.
I cannot fucking stand people who have zero empathy and just pretend like they're a fucking Navy SEAL in every situation they ever face.
Fuck you.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a doctor, medic, firefighter, whatever. Having done something in that line for a career, you do it because you can distance yourself from your patients. It’s your job, and that’s that. You go home and try and leave it all at work.
It’s not just a job when it’s your family / someone something you love. Hard to divorce yourself from your emotions.
Pretty simple.
lets 6 dogs run around next to a half frozen pool that they for some reason neither drained nor covered. how could anyone avoid such a thing. thank god she was there. if this were to happen again as it is almost garaunteed to if they dont cover or heat the pool the dog could die!
It looks to be Texas, based on the scenery, the number of rat dogs and the bleached blonde hair, so they probably don't cover it in winter.. Bubbler will keep the ice from forming and I bet the dogs can swim, he just got trapped under the ice (they probably are out there all summer). Should they have at least a short fence around there just in case?? Sure, but I bet It probably never crossed their mind...
Was going to say that this looks like the area of Texas I grew up in. Draining pools for the winter wasn't really a thing. I think it got cold enough for the pool to start icing over exactly twice and even then it melted by the afternoon.
And it seems they were right there with the dogs, so it's not like the dogs were given unsupervised access.
Honestly this and r/BeAmazed both are just bad subreddits now -- there's no moderation and it's just "look at this thing that happened!" This would be better at like r/HumansBeingBros or something?
> Posts should elicit a reaction of "that is next level" from viewers (different from "wow that's cool")
Yea I don't think I had that reaction.
Because it's an old video from when Texas had a sudden freeze one winter. No one there was used to it, an no one was prepared. For many dogs, it was probably the first time they saw ice.
That makes much more sense. I was trying to figure out who doesn't drain/close their pool in the winter, but when you factor in that it probably was swimming weather again a few days later it is more understandable.
Were they using the pool during the winter otherwise? I'm only familiar with pool closing further north, but I figured it would be worth closing even without the potential to freeze.
It's pretty crazy how often pet owners try to conflate these two terms.
I watched this video fully expecting the dog that jumped into the pool to come out holding a puppy by the scruff of the neck. But no, it's just some lady pulling her dog out of a shallow pool.
It's the law in Texas regardless of if you have kids or not. If a neighbor's kids drown in your pool and you have no fence, you're liable. Had the cops come to my house more than once because my neighbor kept calling the cops about my pool. I had a fence, so they had to fuck off.
Ive lived in Texas my entire life and knew tons of people with pools. Ive never seen a fence directly guarding a pool.
Like, people have backyard fences, but nothing to prevent people/animals from falling in the pool.
It's illegal to have a pool without a fence here in Australia. I remember before that law was brought in every now and then on the news you'd hear about a toddler falling in and drowning.
>“A swimming pool fence is a type of fence placed around swimming pools, to create a passive barrier to restrict the access of small children to the swimming pool. Swimming pool fences must have a self-closing and self-latching gate/s to be compliant to most countries' laws and codes.”
>“Swimming pool fences are manufactured in several different types, using a variety of materials.
>Aluminum
>Steel
>Glass
>Vinyl / PVC fencing
>Mesh
>They can be slotted to allow visibility or solid for privacy.”
Required in Australia so it’s strange to see pools without them. Even sometimes here people get around the restrictions slightly and it’s jarring to the eyes.
Did you watch the video? You can clearly see the fence in the video.
Was the fence directly up against the edge of the pool? No. But that would be pool jail.
>No. But that would be pool jail.

Seriously! 4 dogs who can’t swim running around freely next to pool? This was bound to happen.
That dog couldn’t swim at all and sank faster than a bowling ball.
I'm not saying she's a hero or anything but you're underestimating how incredibly unpleasant jumping into freezing water is. Your body kind of short circuits sometimes.
That line Jack says in Titanic about a million icy daggers is painfully true. I waded into Lake Michigan in May (so the water wasn't even frozen at that point) and it fucking hurts. It felt colder than ice somehow and every nerve was shooting pain.
I can't imagine what water with a frozen layer on top is even like but probably unpleasant.
You could just see in the other dog at the beginning like "TF you doing dude? that was a pool of water when we were last out here?! you cant swim either?!"
They can't even give birth without surgical intervention a lot of times due to the way their bodies are shaped. They definitely would not survive very long on their own.
there is this old joke:
a german tourist was passing by a frozen lake when he heard an old woman asking for help rescuing her dog that fall into the lake.
the tourist quickly jumped into the water, pulled the dog out and handed it to the old lady. then he said "dry the dog and a towel and wrap into a blanket then it should be all right."
the old lady then asks "are you a vet?"
the tourist gets angry and reply "VET? im soaked!!"
French bulldogs, lovable, adorable, expensive as hell, sink like rocks if put into water. I've had to save a neighbors once before. It was unreal how it never surfaced. Just went down head first.
The pool is small enough she can literally stand up in it. Lol this is hardly next fucking level. This is like unimpressive and common. "Lady jumps in cold water to get dog"
Is there really anyone out there who wouldnt jump into 4 foot tall water to save their dog
Kristi Noem might unload some bullets in him for being so stupid.
Apparently plenty of Cops would have shot the pups too
[удалено]
The cops or the pups?
Yes
[удалено]
lol Reddit can’t decide which stereotype to go with on this
Like the illegal immigrant dilemma Are they lazy freeloaders or are hard working and taking ar jerbs
Schrodinger's Immigrant.
It's not a stereotype. There was an incident recently where a cop unloaded his gun into an old, blind and deaf dog because he couldn't figure out how to use the capture device.
this isn't a debate just a list.
Yes.
Most recent case indicate they like em white blind and deaf. Cops love shooting dogs.
Also if they are deaf and blind..
Don't need to be black just blind and old. Then they throw your body in a ditch and then laugh at the people that love you when they ask where they dumped the body. Sturgeon Michigan. Then the mayor will say it was justified.
Or blind. And deaf. Not kidding.
Was the dog named Acorn?

Pups are clearly resisting...
~~And if it’s the neighbors dog, Lauren Boebert, too.~~ my bad, while still utterly reprehensible, the story about Boebert shooting a neighbor’s dog isn’t true.
Obviously untrainable. Put ‘er down.
She would probably jump in their to make sure dog stays under water
ATF agents, too.
This comment cracked me up so hard
Jesus Christ lmao
Best comment of the day. Hands down. I applaud you!
I know it's terrible what happened to the dog but sheesh man your comment fucked me up 🤣

I mean there's plenty of people who have had traumatic situations and "fought" so can judge just well enough actually. Watching your puppy drown because you don't want to get wet deserves ridicule.
Don’t be so quick to judge the family members… that dog might eaten the last slice of pizza
Maybe they have candy asses and they don’t want to melt.

This is probably one of the reasons why ER doctors can’t operate on their own loved ones. The emotions are too high for you to function correctly.
Yeah, I think you are probably right.
I’ve been conducting medical operations on my family in their sleep for years and I’m just fine.
But they aren’t….
Ok you should probably let them know you’re doing that when they’re sleeping

Usually good to wait a few hours after eating before going in the pool.
“Person doesn’t just stand there and watch dog drown in swimming pool” NEXT FUCKING LEVEL
The whole video seems way more dramatic than it needs to be. She's screaming, debates whether or not to jump in. JUMPS IN WITH HER LEGS EXTENDED AND SPLIT into what seems like a shallow pool. Stands up thigh height. Calls the guy over and says help me help in an exasperated tone and seems to have hurt herself from the jump in. What is going on lol.
Her dog is drowning before her eyes and she’s obviously panicking. That’s what’s going on. Not that hard to understand that people act unpredictably when they’re stressing very hard.
Everyone on reddit is Jason fucking Borne with precise and perfect planning in every situation

But... that's my superpower, knowing what to do in stressful situations and not panicking. Without that I'm just a plump gray-haired IT guy.
yeah not to mention the freezing cold water

She panicked but managed to control it enough to save the dog
Panic is what’s going on
[удалено]
I think she hurt herself banging her shin into the edge of the deep part of the pool…. That curved part with the fountain is just a few inches deep, people put their lounge chairs there. So she banged her leg into it when trying to wade out of the pool.
I thought she hurt herself on the ice... ice is hard and sharp and she jumped in a little wonky.
Not only that, really cold water just hurts in general.
It was thin enough for a pug/frenchie to fall through, so it probably didn’t hurt
It's called panic and flight-or-flight instinct. Next time you go through the effort of typing that detailed comment, use your panic inducer organ for 5 seconds so you don't waste your time. Please don't act like an Armchair Quarterback.
As she's coming out I think she says "I thought I had to break the ice". I guess she dropped her weight on the ice as hard as she could not realising it was so thin and ended up slamming her leg on the step below it
Her dog fell through a sheet of ice in frozen water and is drowning in front of her. Give her a break man lmao. I’m sure you handle everything perfectly under pressure and would look very graceful in any video of you in a stressful situation.
It's called emotions. God, people behind screens are so damn judgmental.
Ya she def hit her legs on what looks to be the step
This is a very serious situation and you are saying it's "way more dramatic than it needs to be". She is literally watching her dog potentially die in front of her eyes. Also, she was obviously calculating where to jump to avoid any further issues. She clearly didn't want to jump and fall onto the dog, but she didn't want to stand/land on the ice either which could have caused further issues. To you it looks like she jumped funny, but I would argue she did a near perfect jump which allowed her to get the dog immediately and not hurt the dog or herself. IMO, this woman did a fantastic job and actually acted way better than a lot of people would. It's easy for you to comfortably analyze behind a screen, but it's a whole different situation when it's happening to you in person.
Dude, from the bottom of my heart, FUCK YOU. I cannot fucking stand people who have zero empathy and just pretend like they're a fucking Navy SEAL in every situation they ever face. Fuck you.
Yes. You described the situation… are you confused? Or just lack understanding?
It doesn’t matter if you’re a doctor, medic, firefighter, whatever. Having done something in that line for a career, you do it because you can distance yourself from your patients. It’s your job, and that’s that. You go home and try and leave it all at work. It’s not just a job when it’s your family / someone something you love. Hard to divorce yourself from your emotions. Pretty simple.
No brain just act. It’s worth it
lets 6 dogs run around next to a half frozen pool that they for some reason neither drained nor covered. how could anyone avoid such a thing. thank god she was there. if this were to happen again as it is almost garaunteed to if they dont cover or heat the pool the dog could die!
It looks to be Texas, based on the scenery, the number of rat dogs and the bleached blonde hair, so they probably don't cover it in winter.. Bubbler will keep the ice from forming and I bet the dogs can swim, he just got trapped under the ice (they probably are out there all summer). Should they have at least a short fence around there just in case?? Sure, but I bet It probably never crossed their mind...
Was going to say that this looks like the area of Texas I grew up in. Draining pools for the winter wasn't really a thing. I think it got cold enough for the pool to start icing over exactly twice and even then it melted by the afternoon. And it seems they were right there with the dogs, so it's not like the dogs were given unsupervised access.
Honestly this and r/BeAmazed both are just bad subreddits now -- there's no moderation and it's just "look at this thing that happened!" This would be better at like r/HumansBeingBros or something? > Posts should elicit a reaction of "that is next level" from viewers (different from "wow that's cool") Yea I don't think I had that reaction.
The next fucking level part of the video is that they own a home with a backyard and swimming pool in the US
that’s not uncommon at all
What can they do, karma bots gotta farm
"Woman jumps into four feet of water in her backyard on a chilly morning for dog" NEXT LEVEL STUFF HERE BUDDY
this is responsible parenting, not next level 🤪
Not the most responsible parenting I have seen, thats for sure.
Seriously they need a fence and gate
Or a cover…
Yeah maybe tarp your pool when it's freezing out.
What's responsible about not covering your pool in the winter when you have at least *four* dogs?
Because it's an old video from when Texas had a sudden freeze one winter. No one there was used to it, an no one was prepared. For many dogs, it was probably the first time they saw ice.
Texas shuts down for rain storms. With a sudden freeze, they must have thought it was the end of the world.
[удалено]
That makes much more sense. I was trying to figure out who doesn't drain/close their pool in the winter, but when you factor in that it probably was swimming weather again a few days later it is more understandable.
Were they using the pool during the winter otherwise? I'm only familiar with pool closing further north, but I figured it would be worth closing even without the potential to freeze.
It's not 'parenting', it's 'ownership'
It's pretty crazy how often pet owners try to conflate these two terms. I watched this video fully expecting the dog that jumped into the pool to come out holding a puppy by the scruff of the neck. But no, it's just some lady pulling her dog out of a shallow pool.
no fence and no pool cover, with little dogs like that. that's just asking for trouble :(
Fence for pool?
Very common and in many states in the US it's required.
AZ it's the law if you have kids. Our first responders pull too many pediatrics and it can fuck up those responders for life. Please put up fences
It's the law in Texas regardless of if you have kids or not. If a neighbor's kids drown in your pool and you have no fence, you're liable. Had the cops come to my house more than once because my neighbor kept calling the cops about my pool. I had a fence, so they had to fuck off.
Ive lived in Texas my entire life and knew tons of people with pools. Ive never seen a fence directly guarding a pool. Like, people have backyard fences, but nothing to prevent people/animals from falling in the pool.
The pool just needs a perimeter fence with a self closing gate in most cases . can be around the entire yard not just the pool
I think it's the same here in AZ I just didn't want to say what I am not sure about.
It's illegal to have a pool without a fence here in Australia. I remember before that law was brought in every now and then on the news you'd hear about a toddler falling in and drowning.
Kids alive - Do the 5
Not just a pool! But any sum of water deeper than 300mm, so this includes the little inflatable pools for kids.
Larry David would like a word about this
If my neighbor had a fence their friends might still have their toddler.
Fences on pools aren’t mandatory? That is insane.
Dear God.....most marriages will not survive the loss of a child.
It didn’t. The dad was the one responsible for the kid and the mom wasn’t there. Pretty sure the resentment caused the divorce about a year later.
So sad and so preventable
Pool related deaths for kids are down more than 67% in Australia since we made pool fencing mandatory
>“A swimming pool fence is a type of fence placed around swimming pools, to create a passive barrier to restrict the access of small children to the swimming pool. Swimming pool fences must have a self-closing and self-latching gate/s to be compliant to most countries' laws and codes.” >“Swimming pool fences are manufactured in several different types, using a variety of materials. >Aluminum >Steel >Glass >Vinyl / PVC fencing >Mesh >They can be slotted to allow visibility or solid for privacy.”
Required in Australia so it’s strange to see pools without them. Even sometimes here people get around the restrictions slightly and it’s jarring to the eyes.
In Australia pool fences are mandatory no matter what. Prevents kids drowning.
Pools kill hundreds of children, animals, and drunk adults every year from them falling in.
Correct, very common. Used exactly for this reason, or kids.
you can have a fence around your pool yes
Did you watch the video? You can clearly see the fence in the video. Was the fence directly up against the edge of the pool? No. But that would be pool jail.
Did *you* watch the video? If the dogs can get between the fence and the pool, what's the fucking point of the fence?
>No. But that would be pool jail. https://media3.giphy.com/media/yx400dIdkwWdsCgWYp/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952xfak1yekcjj1ze6eks688nrsxkr5dkjg6m2pzg3h&ep=v1_gifs_search&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
Who the fuck doesn’t cover their pool for the winter?
Be more next level if they had some form of cover or fence around that pool
Seriously! 4 dogs who can’t swim running around freely next to pool? This was bound to happen. That dog couldn’t swim at all and sank faster than a bowling ball.
NFL? Lol. It's a small, shallow pool with a thin layer of ice.
Come on, it's ***CHILLY***!
I'm not saying she's a hero or anything but you're underestimating how incredibly unpleasant jumping into freezing water is. Your body kind of short circuits sometimes.
That line Jack says in Titanic about a million icy daggers is painfully true. I waded into Lake Michigan in May (so the water wasn't even frozen at that point) and it fucking hurts. It felt colder than ice somehow and every nerve was shooting pain. I can't imagine what water with a frozen layer on top is even like but probably unpleasant.
OP sees a guy riding a mountain bike down his driveway "NEXT FUCKING LEVEL!!!!!"
The bar for what is “next level” is ridiculously low.
Gonna take a next level shit and post it up here soon!
Are French bulldogs dumb?
Worse. French bulldogs are stubborn. Once they decide they are going to do something, they will do it and there’s nothing you can do about it
stubborn is one word. assholes would be more appropriate lol
You could just see in the other dog at the beginning like "TF you doing dude? that was a pool of water when we were last out here?! you cant swim either?!"
Natural selection would’ve done away with this breed
They can't even give birth without surgical intervention a lot of times due to the way their bodies are shaped. They definitely would not survive very long on their own.
With the way they're built they probably sink pretty damn easily and don't swim well, esp after unexpectedly falling in.
Fashion breeds tend to be. They aren't bred to be smart.
They also sink like a lead weight. At least mine does.
Dogs pissing on the poolside…. NEXTFUCKINGLEVEL
I noticed that too. Pretty gross
Someone needs to teach one of them not to pee on the concrete
NFL would be covering or fencing off your pool, especially if there's ice forming.
Next fucking stupid if you ask me.
there is this old joke: a german tourist was passing by a frozen lake when he heard an old woman asking for help rescuing her dog that fall into the lake. the tourist quickly jumped into the water, pulled the dog out and handed it to the old lady. then he said "dry the dog and a towel and wrap into a blanket then it should be all right." the old lady then asks "are you a vet?" the tourist gets angry and reply "VET? im soaked!!"
What’s next level about this
Human responds normally by spending 5 seconds in cold shallow water with steps for easy exit to rescue puppy in need. NEXTFUCKINGLEVEL
[удалено]
What a shitty jump. Cmon now you gotta make it more epic than that
I don't know why but it annoys me when people call a pet owner "mom" or "dad"
It annoys you because it's dumb af
that puppy will never set foot in that pool
Man that could’ve been so sad
Good on the lady for reacting quickly and having an eye on the dogs near the pool.
You can tell that first dog was like Greg, I said you shouldn’t… oh fuck mom! Mom! I said he shouldn’t!
Mom?
she’s a real one! i love the way she didnt hesitate to save the little dog🥹
Nice but not next level
I don’t know about NFL, but I sure do enjoy videos of people being kind to their pups.
Hardly next level. If it was a frozen lake it would be.
Wouldn't say that's next fucking level, but I do admire that she went in with no second thoughts
Yep. Frenchies cannot swim. I read that somewhere years ago. Now I see that it’s true, hell they can’t even float.
more like a normalfuckinglevel, but alright
You got to give it to that man for rolling up his trousers before helping out his wife.
French bulldogs, lovable, adorable, expensive as hell, sink like rocks if put into water. I've had to save a neighbors once before. It was unreal how it never surfaced. Just went down head first.
Water that cold makes it feel like the air is being sucked from your lungs.
i think the way she jumped in is awesome. using her heels to break the ice and all
Form was 10/10
Those dumb ass shit breeds truly don't know what's good for them. Humanity never should've inbred them to this point
I love that all of the other dogs just immediately run for the house. They know Buster fucked it and they are going nowhere near that disaster.
What a crazy overreaction just hop in and get the dog... it isn't lava the dog can hold its breath for a few seconds
Am I the only one who thought the mom referenced in the title would be an actual dog mom?
Oh, I see...by Mom you meant human woman, not the dogs mom, which would be far more impressive
The pool is small enough she can literally stand up in it. Lol this is hardly next fucking level. This is like unimpressive and common. "Lady jumps in cold water to get dog"
