1. I hope the dog is alive.

Knowing fox news reporters though...I bet the fucker didnt do anything to help the dog...

[Rude Horner]

2. Your description is enough

No way I could watch it.

3. Is he alive?

[IranianDemocrat]

9. If you watch the video...

...its shows the dog at the end hanging on against the filter and the fox news guy says hes gonna try to get it out...

[Pirate Smile]

12. I can't stand to watch any more of this heartbreaking stuff.

5. I asked this question last week

But I guess I'll ask it again here. Is it possible that dead bodies are being pumped out with the water?

[IranianDemocrat]

7. I think they have a filter that tries to keep large debree from going out.

The same filter the dog was holding on to.

10. Good question

In the first days, I heard concerns that corpses might clog or otherwise jam the pumps, so it must be at least possible.

Given the volume of water involved, I'd be amazed if a few didn't get drawn in, almost regardless of any precautions that might be taken.

8. Ok, first of all I feel dirty for going to that site, then

what an ass for not getting down there and trying to help. Granted, I couldn't see how far down, but seriously...Anderson Cooper is in the water helping to do whatever he can and this guy doesn't even seem that moved that the poor dog is struggling to stay alive.

All Fox News people and the ones who watch them are asses (personal opinion, not actual fact, but I could probably make the argument if I had to).

[IranianDemocrat]

11. To be honest with you..

I detest fox news as well, I only got this link off nola.com and i think this video shows what an ass fox news reporters really are. If I was there I would have dropped the mike and jumped the fence to get the dog out.

13. the last I saw the dog did NOT get sucked through the pumps

he appeared to be pinned up against the grates designed to prevent large items from ending up in the pump. He was leaning against the filter with his head above water and seemed to be ok...they were trying to get a means of rescuing the pooch...

15. I thought he got sucked through something...

Underneath the platform they were standing on, then he managed to reach the filter..

[ProdigalJunkMail]

17. nah...he was just swimming against the current

and went under the walkway...he stayed out of the pumps...

14. In all seriousness

Is it possible/advisable to save a drowning dog? Throughout my life I've heard recommendations that it's risky for someone without lifeguard training to try to save a drowning (and therefore panicking) person; does a dog become similarly dangerous, even inadvertantly?

I can't view the video on my current connection, but the mere thought of it is awful.
