Greater love hath no dog than this, that he lay down his life for his human.

Now that's what I'd call a hot dog!

Ok, I must just be dead. Thanks, Internet.

good boy!

sad, but good.

Dr.Knockboots: OH GOD DAMMIT....

Someone make me laugh or something now. Why did I read that!!
That last picture, dude.. come on.

Organic Chemistry: If it's dusty, are you sneezing?

steveurkel: dammit. sniffelling like a little girl over here.



He said he had been sleeping in the living room of his home and using a space heater during the recent cold snap.

But he said the space heater was the only thing plugged into that circuit and was on a ceramic pad with nothing within four feet that could catch fire.

The dog probably caused the fire that burned down his master's house.

....You guys are going to stone me, aren't you.

Jake Havechek: Greater love hath no dog than this, that he lay down his life for his human.

I was okay until this. I hate you.

I wonder what happened that made the dog wriggle out of the collar? Poor guy. What a dog. I need to go hug mine now.

I wonder why the dog went back in? Whatever the case, I like to think he's
eating steak somewhere, waiting for his buddy to join him some day.

Luckily, there are onions in my burrito or I would a hard time esplaining to my cube-mate why my eyes are watering...

Fark you, subby...

/Good dog...good dog...

Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man, without his Vices. This Praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the Memory of Boatswain, a Dog. ~George Gordon, Lord Byron, "Inscription on the Monument of a Newfoundland Dog"

Something sounds fishy. How did he grab the dog by the collar, get to his truck and then realize the dog wasn't there?

My humble opinion: "Wasn't feeling well" = "Hammered" and "Grief stricken" = "Guilt".

freewill: Jake Havechek: Greater love hath no dog than this, that he lay down his life for his human.

I'm not so sure that the dog meant to lay down his life, as much as he was thinking "hey, hey, hey, open the door for me, wake up, it's time for me to go outside."

"I got in my truck, started it and backed it out of the carport and realized I had [Duncan's] collar and he wasn't there."

"Damnit, Scott."

There's video of a dog trying to pull another dog that was hit by a car out of traffic. I've also seen squirrels defend a dead fellow squirrel from dive bombing crows.

I was okay until the firefighter/goggie hug part. My god I just crumbled.

Thanks Fark.

I hate to say this, but I kind of agree. How could someone not know that their dog wasn't attached to the collar?

I feel really bad for this guy, of course, but that just doesn't sound right.

Either way, really sad story.

So, the firefighters not only put out the fire, but also buried the guy's dog? Damn, those guys do everything.

/truly sad

I promised myself I wouldn't... CRY... *sob*

If he grabbed the dogs collar to take him with how could he not know hes not there its not like a boxer is a Yorkie or a Toy Poodle. Thats at least 60 pounds of dog right there.

Definitely something isn't 100% right. It was apparently at night and the guy might have been confused, but it is a boxer and not a large dog like a mastiff, the guy could have just carried the dog.

Farkers be cryin'.

A cat would have made it out alive.

/Just sayin'

FTFA: Duncan, a boxer, barked when the fire broke out, alerting his owner.

Read 'barked' as 'baked'. Oops.

I agree. I think I'd notice if my 9 pound idiot chihuahua wriggled out of his collar and he had an average sized dog. Still, it made me sad.

/But not pissed like those people who left their bunny behind to die. Link (new window)

For those of you mocking dogs and their owners, that's fine, this is Fark after all.

But if you think a dog doesn't form a bond with their owner and will protect them with their life you are dead wrong. My dog went after three men harassing my wife without even a moments hesitation. Chasing them away and protected my wife. I trust that animal more than most people.

/she's a lab/pit mix
//lovable but don't fark with the family

Some 15 years ago late one night, my wiener dog Roxy nosed me awake ... a fire had broken out in the downstairs garage. I was able to put it out with a hose before the fire department got there. Turns out a wire had shorted out and had been smoldering for some time.

/good girl Roxy
//miss her still...

come on, man...let's not turn this thread into a "dogs are better than cats, and people that own dogs are the best because dogs are so much better than cats because cats suck" thread...okay?

hahahahahahahahahahahagasphahahahaha

Err, you ever wake up midsleep, totally unaware of your surroundings and completely disoriented, and all hell is breaking loose around you and you need to GTFO or die? You make mistakes. You're operating on half a cylinder . I wouldn't blame anyone for that.

/felt very similar during the Northridge quake

/approves

Rather than cry I'm gonna go ITG

*HEAARRRGGGGGGHHH!*

I would have gone back in after the dog! Pausing only to chug 6 beers and then piss out the fire w/ my man urine. Yea, that's the ticket.

/has a sad :(

Farkin' pet owners...I swear.

It's just a farkin' dog and or cat! Get a new one!

/not a pet person.

If only the bond went both ways. Then, maybe the guy would have remembered to bring the dog with him...

That's just cold.

That guy must have really loved his dog to hug it's smoldering, greasy corpse. shiat I wouldn't even hug my mother if her body was pulled out of a burned down house. Jesus...

This is why I'll never rescue a baby from a burning house... you get burning baby all over you and it makes you late for work.
