I saw this on the news today. I can totally understand this guy, and see myself doing the exact same thing in his position.

I honestly think I would put my own life in danger to try and save my babies. React first, think later!

Wow! What a guy!!! I am glad he only lost part of his fingers...it could have been so much worse!

That was so heartwarming what he did - to know there are those people out there who would do something like that to save their dog. I think I posted here what happened when Shiloh B. got his bak paw wedged between two floor boards on my deck - I tried to help him get it loose (he was totally freaking out and no one but me was there and didn't know what else to do) but in the process of trying to pull his paw loose, he bit me a few times. Yes, it hurt like ____ but I knew why he did it. Finally the paw worked loose and it was not broken or even sprained. To look at my arm now - nothing ever happened. What I did pales in comparison to what this guy did but I hope I would do the same.

After all the sad stories you see and hear about people abusing their animals, it's comforting to hear a story about people who truly do love their pets and would do anything for them!

i love my dogs but if a 7' gator grabbed one of them, i wouldn't have done what he did. i mighta come back later with a weapon and killed that gator.

I heard about this...i probably would have done the same thing.

I would have done the same. When Hunter was being attacked by an akita, I jumped between and got her away. Not as dangerous as a crocodile, but I wouldn't think twice. React first think later.

I could easily see myself doing that for Murphy, or any other dog. Kudo's to the guy for what he did.

two years ago i would have called this guy an idiot.
but two years ago i hadnt had a dog for over 20 years.
today i think, we'll tan his hide and make a nice Gator collar for fido! try to eat my dog.

Just as a parent would sacrifice to save their child, I would do what is necessary to save Snoopy. I am glad to see so many who would do the same.
