Dog Dies After Jumping in Unmarked Ditch With Hot Geothermal Water

KBOI ^ | Glen Beeby

[who knows what evil?]

Was the dog on a leash?

[mware]

My yellow lab sees water she is in.

And if it had been marked the dog would have read the warning and stayed out?

[Responsibility2nd]

Beat me to it.

Rarely do I see dogs on a leash when hiking up table rock.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Hmmmmm.. I would think a dog would have the instinct to detect the safety of the ditch/water before going all in.. Poor pooch, but I think he probably went numb just a few seconds after jumping in.. I feel for that family.

This makes me just as sad as that giraffe who hit its head on the freeway overpass and died.

And if it had been marked the dog would have read the warning and stayed out?

But of course it would have! Just like criminals obey gun laws!

[ErnBatavia]

If there had been ample signage, chances are the doggie would’ve just ignored it.

Now that was a hot dog

Happens in Yellowstone Park occasionally - often it’s a granola on skinny skis (and his dog) who wants to skinny dip mid-winter...

Signage —

I’ve been told use English only.

If you use any other languages, you must use them all (however many that is).

And if you say Danger, that means you know there is a problem, but if you way Warning, or Caution, then the reader is responsible (or some such interpretation, subject to chante).

So, “Woof, Woof, WOOF!!” = Keep out Danger, HOt Water!

[Telepathic Intruder]

Unlike the air, water doesn’t require much difference from body temperature to become dangerous.

It's a good thing the owner is more understanding than this angry fellow!

“My yellow lab sees water she is in.”

My lab sees water and it’s World War 3 if you try to get him any closer.

Necessary rimshot!

[slouper]

Darwin doggie, just say’n.

[RinaseaofDs]

Hot dog!

[Pilgrim's Progress]

They need to erect signs with a picture of a dog with a red NO circle around it . . . that’ll work. Wait, dogs are color blind aren’t they.
