It is the humane thing to do. They would have gotten unbelievable flak had they not rescued the dog, and just let it be swept away to a certain death. Plus in the eyes of God it’s good and that’s what matters.

Not to mention that the rescue crews need this kind of practice to keep their skills sharp.
