They don't even say what happened to the dog. That can't be good. I would probably die trying to save my dog, but I'd be pretty sad if I somehow knew that the dog didn't make it anyway.
That was my reaction:
"The man was not injured."
Whoah, whoah, whoah... Dog OK?
My wife takes our dogs to this area often for walks, and she said even knowing what just happened to this woman, she'd still try to save the dog if it was going under.
She will be sticking to the parts of the river that are more solidly frozen, however.
Such a beautiful area for taking dogs for a walk, too. I used to live down in Anchorage, but I made the trip up there a couple of times. Lovely.
This is awful. Also, going under the ice is a one-way ticket
Yep. Even thin ice can't be broken from beneath if you are diving without foothold on the ground. Less so in ice cold water with currents and turbulences.
This is really sad.
Everyone, please, keep your dogs leashed. Keeps them safe, keeps you safe, and keeps other hikers safe. Never let a dog off leash while hiking. You're asking for trouble.
Yet, I very rarely ever come across someone with a leashed dog during a hike. 1 in 100 I would say
That's been my experience too. In general, many dog owners are very ignorant about keeping their pets safe.
It bothers me because it's really selfish. Loose dogs really mess with wildlife, especially birds.
Former firefighter here: we treated "dog on ice" calls as serious human emergencies because minutes after the dog falls in, you'll have a human in danger too.
Exactly. If she wanted to keep her dog safe, she had better options available than getting both of them drowned.
