Man Died Trying To Rescue Dog From Raging Sand Fire, Neighbor Says
CBS Los Angeles ^ | 07/25/2016 | Unattributed

Posted on 07/26/2016 10:24:50 AM PDT by Silentgypsy

Homeowners returned to a Sand Canyon neighborhood Monday night, days after the raging Sand Fire tore through the area.

For some like John Kim, returning to the area meant picking through the remains of his home.

Kim’s neighbor died in his car trying to outrun the flames. The victim was a man in his 60’s.

He lived on the property with a woman, who was too distraught to speak. Their home also burned to the ground.

Kim says the man who died went back to rescue his dog.

There have been numerous cases of dogs saving people from fires. Many people will do what is necessary to save their dog too. There is a reason they are called Mans best friend. I guess you have to be a dog owner to understand.

Indeed. I would have done the same for my dog, so I understand.

He went “back” to save the dog? Is this sloppy journalism or what?

1) Did he get out and then go back? If so, why didn’t he take the dog out the first time? Years ago when we had to evacuate our home, I packed the photo albums and the pets first thing. Some things can’t be replaced.

2)Or had he be elsewhere and was driving into the neighborhood?

I wonder if he though "wow I'm really glad I died trying to save my dog." as he burned to death.

Of course it’s sloppy journalism. It’s CBS.

If it is CBS, it is also the Corrupt Broadcast System, the propaganda wing of the democrat party.

People and animals . . .

While back, a man died when the rope he tied came loose - he thought he was going to rescue a calf out of a hole in the ice of a frozen pond . . .

He may have died in the attempt to save his dog, but he also got his ticket punched “ONE WAY TO HEAVEN”.
Would I risk my life for my dogs?
ABSOLUTELY.

I guess you have to be a dog owner to understand.

I'd do it for my cat and I'd probably do the same thing for a neighbor's pet.......

I'd rather die trying to save someone or some animal than spend my end days in a nursing home not even remembering my own name..........I've lived a full life and have no regrets.
