That’s one tough situation. In a life-or-death situation, a person’s life is worth more than an animal’s. So, I don’t blame the owner for making that choice. Still, the rescuer went above-and-beyond to save the dog’s life. I would say that he earned her.
I totally disagree. I have a GSD and if something happened to her, I would carry her out of anything. These dogs are totally loyal and was probably waiting for her master to come back. You don’t just let a friend lay there and die. He has no right to this animal.
I agree with his initial decision to leave the dog and survive himself, but he made no attempt to go back up for her.
There's a sweeping generalization.
But for eight days he did nothing to go back for the dog!
First, he probably shouldn’t have had her up that high without more resources, but then to just abandon her and tell himself that she’d just died up there—despicable!
Yes, a human life is worth more than an animal’s. But when the owner got to safety, he did not lift a finger or contact anybody to try to get help for his dog. In eight days, he didn’t go back up himself, either. He just walked away. No, he doesn’t deserve her. He deserves a beating for his laziness and selfishness. And he should be sued for the cost of the rescue mission.
It is hard; but I agree with the guy who rescued her. He said he understood; but didn’t understand why he didn’t find some way to go back and get her.
I agree. This guy who didn’t even know her managed to get her.
Bull, he took her up there, and he LEFT her there. It’s an easy choice to make the dog depended on him to take care of her.
And God won’t forget about it either.
