Our paper said the springs, which are close by, will get to boiling temp lately. The paper warned not to jump in like usual.

Very sad for all involved but I would guess the dogs were not leashed since he had to go in after them instead of pulling them out.
Another reason to keep your dogs leashed or restrained whenever off property.

It seems odd that the dogs would have decided to jump into such hot water. One would think they would sense that it was at a dangerous temperature and avoid it.

Dante’s Peak was filmed in Idaho...just sayin.Filmed in Wallace, ID. Lots of matte paintings to "fill in". Salmon sits over the western most part of the Yellowstone magma chamber. 37 miles from my door step is Lava Hot Springs. A great tourist spots. The hot spring water is controlled to selected temperature ranges into large swimming pools. $3 for an all day pass. Lockers so you can change into swim trunks. A fun place all year. Sitting in the hot water with your hair freezing is a favorite Winter activity.

Damn, I would do anything for my dog. But my dog isn’t so stupid as to jump into boiling water.

Should've had a warning sign:

Anybody that doesn’t have his dogs leashed in bear country can’t whine.

"It seems odd that the dogs would have decided to jump into such hot water. One would think they would sense that it was at a dangerous temperature and avoid it." I can only guess the dogs had swam there before when the waters were at normal temps and just jumped right in assuming it was business as usual.
