    It's silly to most, because most people believe in God, and most people believe we are the it in the universe.. Would I run into a building for a pet? Most likely not, but I'm not going to assume someone else is an idiot for doing so. We all die someday. We all have different priorities, beliefs.

    What kind of idiot as a pet ant? What kind of stupid question is that?! :lol:

    No, I'd take a magnifying glass to it!

    i don't believe in god and I also believe we are the most intelligent species on earth, effectively making us 'it' in the world. But I don't think that the Wolf is an idiot... foolish perhaps for willing to give up his own life for his obedient dog... but not an idiot.

    Here's what should have gone down..

    An intelligent person would NOT have run into a burning building. An intelligent person would have kicked a door or window in, leaving an exit for the pet. An intelligent pet would have figured the way out.

    Survival of the fittest. Lady wasn't intelligent, she died. It's been going on for millions of years.


    EDIT: I spelled "intelligent" wrong.. jokes on me! :lol:

    that's it really.
    we all know we should never run back into a burning building for....ANY thing or ANy one. person, dog, cat, iguana...whatever. it's a foolish thing to do, absolutely, but many people follow their instincts/hearts, sometimes to their own demise.


    sad story for all involved.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Yeah that's probably true. I guess for me I get annoyed because people say they'd run into a burning house for a family member and then MOCK people who would do the same for a dog they've had for 1..2..10 years.

    It's one thing to say they wouldn't do it - I can't argue with that, but I do get annoyed when they mock people who would.

    But you're right- its not smart to ever do it, but people do it all the time for family members. Unfortunately it works out horribly sometimes. :(

    So true. We all do a variety of things out of love/instinct/guilt.

    I don't really think intelligence has anything to do with it. As I said before I don't really know what I would do in that situation. You never really know how you'll react when the adrenalin starts pumping and the emotions start flooding in. Who knows. But cats before husband. Pretty clear on that ;):lol:

    I can just picture my wake/funeral, after I died saving my dogs life...

    As I lay in the coffin, there is no doubt someone in my family, or one of my friends would bring my dog into the wake. As I lay in my coffin, and family members are grieving, the good preacher would start to say a few kind words.....

    As this was going on my dog would be there doing one of 2 things...or both.....

    1. He would be licking his balls....
    2. After licking his balls, he would start humping my girlfriends leg.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    I have always wanted a dog....

    So I could have a companion, when I go baby seal hunting.......

    I would do it in a second.

    I know I'm in the minority here.
    This is why you are such a wonderful man, why you write so beautifully and love so deep. Risking ones own life to save a pet is admirable not foolish. It's all about love and some are willing to take a risk to keep that precious love. I would have to try.

    Another woman died overnight near where I live trying to rescue a dog on a highway...

    Touching on the argument at hand...
    Dogs and many other animals have been known to rescue their owners when they are in trouble.
    Dogs would run to alert someone through barking, cats would meow loud, etc.
    Seeing they would rescue us, why would we not return the good deed?

    you know my father always told me never to swerve the car to avoid hitting a dog. and one morning driving to the train station i did just that. my father is a big dog lover. but he loves his human family more.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    because we might die... and no dog is worth your own life! and yes, I am including Scooby Doo in this...

    Brian is worth my life! I really love Brian from Family Guy, after I saved him we'd go have martini's :D
    Seriously, I have been thinking about the woman who lost her life and the love she carried in her heart for her best friend. That's the key, some of us consider our relationships with our pets to be like best friends even better. "I'd rather be with an animal" is pretty much been my motto for my life.
    I also thought about this woman's parents. I think a person who loves animals like this probably learned to value them from their parents as a child. So her parents would probably do the same, risk their lives also and although they are grieving they get it.
    I have no doubt in my mind my children would risk their lives to save their dogs. My daughter would probably do that for an animal she didn't even know! I would understand her heart and be proud of the depth of care she has for another living thing. And I would miss her terribly but I would never say she was foolish to care so deeply.
    My son would know exactly what he was doing but he would go in and get Bonnie the Bulldog because she is his responsibility and she needs him. She is an elderly rescue Bulldog who has given my son purpose in his life. They need each other.
    So my point is no one should judge this woman's actions and call her foolish because she valued the life of someone, yes someone, to her, her dog was someone, someone she loved dearly. This judging comes from not understanding another's heart and what is of value in their lives.

    There is nothing more sacred than unconditional love... a pet lover knows that...

    unfortunately I will judge her... I, and many thousands of firefighters will agree, find her actions to be 'foolish'. She not only risked her own life but she was also endangering the lives of others who would then have tried to rescue her. For a dog? What about the pet ant? does it not receive the same level of care from you guys who find her actions to be valiant? Should she have rescued a pet ant?

    clearly this is one side versus another... but my head is fucking spinning in the knowledge that some of you would choose to die in order to save a dog... that is genuinely fucking ludicrous.

    I'm going to find a story about a woman who dies trying to save a pine tree or a cloud.
