Sad, but the man's an idiot. Giving up one's own life for a dog is simply stupid. Now, his child will be fatherless.
...and his wife without a husband. You're exactly right. What a senseless loss...
My first thought as well.
My second thought: hopefully someone smarter will come along.
"Now, his child will be fatherless."
According to the Left- the kid will be better off.
First three comments on the thread, first three condemnations of the man as an idiot for killing himself over a dog. If I read further, and I will, I'll probably see more.
He didn't "give his life for the dog", he simply acted to do what he thought was right, to save something he loved, with full intention, I'm sure, of surviving... and it didn't work out.
There are people who take action without hesitation, and there are people who stand agape and watch life go by, always second guessing the 'doers' and using people like this man as a justification for their passive, lazy, selfish attitudes.
Standing by and watching life works for many of us, but sometimes we need people who are doers.
