With a heave ho, the stick was launched into the air and into the fury of the ocean. Without any hesitation, the LR leaped, turned and dove into the waters.
Everyone with salt water in their veins knows that during a hurricane the 'rip tides' (as they are referred to know-a-days) can suck you under in a flash......
....which is exactly what happened here with LR. You can see the head of LR and that's all we saw for what seemed ages. The strength of the surge was dragging LR into a stony furrow and holding LR in place. At the same time the water was draining back into the ocean and choking poor LR. What can I say...but ....plain...dumb human...once again!
Continuing on with this questionable fun seemed so odd to me. We dogs know how to have fun but when Mother Nature intervenes then we are at her mercy. We need our humans to use commonsense and protect us from danger.
I watched and wondered what could have happened. We drove off mystified.
That's awful! Too bad your Daddies didn't chew that jerk's head off! That poor faithful dog!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how some dog owners seem to be clueless about the dangers of the water and I am sorry you had to witness such a scary event. I do hope the labrador retriever had a "sit down" with his owners about the dangers of the rip tide!
ReplyDeleteHow cruel! That just breaks my heart!

Oh my goodness! Poor LR! I'm glad you have smart owners who would never put you in jeopardy, Sophie. We see a lot of dumb humans in the horse world too.
ReplyDeletePeople can be so DUMB sometimes. It's a good thing your dogs are so smart. Too bad that LR was so obedient. I hope he ended up OK.
ReplyDeleteSome humans just don't think! We hope they learned something.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella
That was such a horrible cruel thing to do to the poor dog! We hope he was okay. The stupidity of humans never ceases to amaze us.
ReplyDeletetake care

How stupid!? Your one lucky pooch to have a set of Daddies that know better. :)
ReplyDeleteHow cruel! some hoomans are just plain stupid!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, the poor baby! I hope that he was ok. You're right, we humans need to be very careful that we don't ask more of our fur people than they can do. Uggg, I see it with the horses all the time.
ReplyDeleteThe human was obviously oblivious to the danger....next time Sophie, tell your daddies to point the dangers out....or throw the human into the water and watch what happens!!!!! I hope the LR was OK after you left....nice to see you again sweet girl!!
