We go into burning and unoccupied buildings to put out fires. We would certainly do it to save a dog. That said, no way would I put someone who works for me at any real risk of losing their life to save an animal. Or to simply put out a fire.

I guess the difference is the level of risk I am willing to expose myself and my firefighters to. And the risk gap is pretty great to be honest.

Drifter - How often do firefighters have to restrain owners from going back in for a pet? Or other stuff?

I only recall doing it once or twice in 15 + years. #sss

Everything would be different if she acted her age. I could maybe let her go. But she acts like a puppy still.
Sorry to read this news, Doc. I hope for the best outcome - for all involved.

I'm reminded of this news story that happened in my area earlier this month.
An encouraging check up on Wednesday for a dog in Henderson whose tongue was cut from its mouth. 

It's been a few weeks now since Buddy lost his tongue. Buddy saw the vet Wednesday and seems to be healing very well. 

Buddy will have to eat soft food from now on, but the Bryan's say the vet expects Buddy to make a complete recovery.

That's good news because going into this appointment, Loria Bryan says she wasn't sure what Buddy's future looked like.

"No one really knew what the outcome was going to be with Buddy. I knew what today was going to be, It was going to be the decision what would be best for Buddy and what would be more humane for Buddy. I was worried," Loria said.

"I was happy that he said that 90 percent of his tongue is healed and 10 percent is a little bit raw, but it's still fixed so I'm so happy," Kendra Bryan said.

The Bryan's want to remind people there is a reward being offered for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for hurting Buddy. 
When I first heard this story, I wondered how the dog would cool itself. I didn't even think about drinking!

Bold, refreshing, and something I can't quite put my finger on.
