You’d risk everything? You’d risk your children growing up without a mother? You’d let your children risk their own death — for instance, blocking an oncoming truck — for a dog? I don’t get it. I would voluntarily GIVE my life for my child — but not for an animal. Human life supercedes.
Like I said, I’m glad it worked out. The end of such stories is often not as pretty as this one.

Oh stop....People don't go into things like this worrying about their own hides...They just do it...
If not for people like this youngster, this would be a really sorry assed planet to live on.
No, you’re right. I’d stand there watching my dog swim to his death. And I’d think, with my children by my side, “gee, isn’t mommy great? Don’t risk a thing for an animal, sweet faces.
Be a great momma like yours truly. Now, run along and I’ll make you a buttery bowl of popcorn.”
Silly me.
Soon as I saw this I thought “how long before some jerk shows up to sneer that it’s only an animal and human life is so much more precious, blah blah blah.”
People are not all the same.
For some of us, our pets are just about everything. I tend to minimize my intimate contacts with my fellow human beings, and comments like yours reinforce my decision to do so.
You, sir, may think that human life supercedes, but not everyone would agree with you. I would risk my life to rescue any of my three dogs. They mean everything to me. But I can think of a helluva lot of people that I wouldn’t walk across the street to save.
Different strokes for different folks.
