That was a bit RUFF for the dog but he's ruffcovering well.
berlinson
Until that dog runs off and falls right back in that water five minutes later.
apexpancake
Seriously though this was videogame footage from the thumbnail.
Kayshizzle88
I hope the doggy survived <3
docneel
Is he reluctant to get in the boat?
colonellocke
How do you know it change the world? Maybe that dog becomes the first "President of Earth."
bflobob2004
Couldn't they have just slowed down a little bit?
OGRavenwolf
Ok but how in the fuck did a dog with a COLLAR end up in the arctic? Unless it was their dog on boat for some reason
rtpHarry
I hope he didn't have balls because he just got them ripped off
Dagren
Tough grab. Nice effort!

God I love men, I wish I were gay. "Stuck there pupper? here lemme grab you by the skull to safety"
weman713
He has a collar. How do dogs with owners end up in these situations?
snaeksikn
Fresh caught arctic dog! I hear they're the tastiest

This is the one time I’m not gonna complain about shaky camera work.
blackbenetavo
We got you dogbro.
ApolloUSAF
I like how the guy initially struggled getting the doggo up but was just "nope, not letting you go" until he could make it work.
nickysjords
Good catch!
iScreenshotProfiles
Am I the only one that thinks that dog just got choked out? I’m glad he got the dog out, but that seems like a terrible approach.

Nobody gonna mention that precision grab? At speed? Nice catch....
old4chan
Not to prod but...how do these dogs keep getting stuck in the middle of frozen lakes? Take better care, puppers!
ICannotStressThisEnoughBut
What a grab in motion as well! Why didn't they stop? Need to keep breaking the ice, maybe?
LilandraNeramani
Can you imagine the pain it felt for a hard chunk of ice whacking your already freezing legs. Fuck! I felt that. Glad doggo is safe
Kongpaterus4
Was wondering about the same, but came to the same conclusion.
MrNightfish
Maybe, or they were stopping but had a little too much momentum. Hard to tell if the it kept moving after they get him in the boat.

Lol how was a dog just around that area where is the owner lol

Lol blah blah blah lol
BermondseyRising
Thanks. The lol punctuation baffles and annoys me.
Cizox
Good to know that you don’t have the ability to just swipe and move on than to get mad over some dude’s intoxicated 3AM comment
tegfdd77
Ooooh and backatcha!
BermondseyRising
I see you also lack this ability. High five buddy!

Fair enough

And just like that the animal rescue team justified their million dollar awesome all terrain vehicle to save puppy Matt Damon
thegarlicawakens
Animals before people
baiin
I'm sure they've saved people too, though.

KyrosXIII
just when I thought it was a good statement... you made it perfect with "puppy Matt Damon" +1

Money well spent.
MistressLyda
I kind of doubt these things are single use?

Or Many many doggos!

I feel like you missed an opportunity to say Mutt Damon

My dog broke through the ice this winter. I didn’t even hesitate to get in there and get her out. (The lake was only 3ft deep) 1/2
LieselSkywalker
But always stay safe and never jump in if: 1) you are alone, 2) Don’t know the body of water and 3) Don’t like cold water.
laiskamato
My wive's father had to shoot his hound when the dog fell through the ice and the stream took her under the thick ice and the powerful 1/?
laiskamato
stream dragged her away, under much thicker ice. It was either that or to watch the dog drown. Goddamn - I had nightmares about that 2/?
laiskamato
and I only heard the story second-hand. 3/3
LieselSkywalker
Jesus, what a nightmare. I’m so sorry.
ajpimpsalll
he chased dog that was underwater for that long and shot through the ice to the water to kill the dog? how?!
chewybrian
Old Yeller part two--damn!
catperson145
What a relief that you were able to save her!! Our cat broke through the ice but was alone, we found him frozen in the water a couple of 1/2
catperson145
days later. Still makes me so sad to think about it :'( He was so sweet. 2/2
LieselSkywalker
Sorry for your loss.
catperson145
thank you!!
shibbytothelibby
Sad upvote for you.
catperson145
thanks!!
troublemutt
going to hug my cat now +1 sorry for your loss x
catperson145

I wish I had a job where I save doggos like this
UnoriginalPoster2000
Catcher in the Rye, he wants a job where he just saves children from running off a cliff.

Sheepsaurus
I wish a job like that was obsolete
MightyBlueBalls
You are not wrong
darkakarin
Yeah, but this is the save that went well, could you handle the ones that don't?
OliverClothesoff70
Yep. Pretty much the same reason why I was never a volunteer firefighter.
chewybrian
Just go to the pound and save one and make their life great (and vice versa).
MightyBlueBalls
That's the plan. I am going to do that in a month when things quiet down at home.
Scheidenspalter
for a job like this you need too know one thing. "you cant save everyone" never
Coeos
Was thinking exactly that... saving one woukd be heaven.... loosing one would reap my soul appart :(
MightyBlueBalls
Yeah, I understand that. I'm not unrealistic. Just think it must be fulfilling
TheEightfoldPath
If you get that deep fulfillment for a success you'll get hit even harder by failure, not usually those who last long unfortunately
MightyBlueBalls
Understandable. Unfortunately for a big guy I have a tiny heart when it comes to animals. Might become depressed
TheEightfoldPath
Happens with everything, humans and dogs. I've gotten kind of jaded to it, but I've heard that's a good thing lol
