It was a brave but foolhardy thing to do.   The man could have easily succumbed to hypothermia and died in just a few minutes.

@Kachina624  Another of your buzzkill posts.  Sigh.   I doubt that he was in much danger with all those other people around.  Had he shown distress, someone would have helped him out before he "succumbed to hypothermia and died."   Thanks ever so much for your as-usual-cheery-input,  and Merry Christmas to you,.

Thanks for your ultimate wisdom,  as usual,  @Pearley.  If this man was a husband and/or father and had died,  I'm sure his family would have had little consolation in knowing he lost his life for a puppy and THEIR lives changed forever, I guess you can consider the romanticized version or the practical.

@Kachina624  I was practical and saw all the other people around the pond as the man jumped in.  It is you who isn't being practical, but you are being very negative.

Thank you to this kind man for risking his life to save the puppy.   Heart   I'm sure the pup wouldn't have last much longer in that cold water.

This man was moved by compassion, kindness and love as most people should be. I know I would walk through fire to save one of my cat's.
