Dog Rescues would be Thief

Thought this was worth a read

I bet it really stuck in the handlers throat to have to risk his dog to save a thief (and one that steals from oldies at that ).

And from the last bit it also sounds like the guy tried to push the dog under the water (though I suppose that could've been due to panic).

Good job I wasn't the handler....not so sure I would've helped the thief.

Dito,, If he had pushed my dog under the water I would have killed him,, that said you would need to get kaos in the water first

Well done to handler and dog.................pity the dog didn't grab him by the throat to drag him back to shore.

Yeah have to say I thought well done to the dog for percivereing (?) and probably saving the guy. I would hope it was only in panic or thrashing out that he appeared to be pushing the dog under, as if not I would have hoped the handler would have called the dog back

Ditto again - my thoughts exactly and FWIW I would not have risked my dogs life for someone like him
