Is a Dog worth this much?

[bohemian]

20 year-old woman jumps into 93C hot spring to save her dog!  3rd degree burns all over her body; the dog died anyway.

I think sometimes people do things instinctively. She could have just been focused on getting her dog back and may not have thought about how hot it was.

This is where people have a misguided view of loving your animal. So many feel the leash is too restrictive. Having this dog on a leash would have prevented the problem in the first place. Pets aren’t allowed in the area at all according to the article. 
We had an incident in the south a couple weeks ago of a bear going after a couple having a picnic. It was most likely instigated and or aggravated by their dog barking and getting close to the bear. They did not have their dog on a leash which is against the law.

Many people do think before they react. It is good to note for those who use Fahrenheit that 93°C is 200°F - why did she have a dog there in the first place

Had they paid attention to park rules this would not have happened.

"Since pets are prohibited throughout most areas in national parks, it’s best to leave Fido at home while visiting Yellowstone. "

"Pets are not allowed on boardwalks, trails, or in the backcountry."

It’s actually funny how people are

SelfLESS - when it comes to helping their pet

but 

Very SELFISH in demanding their rights to do whatever they feel like they want to do

regardless of the others around or the restrictions in place

Dogs are family members. When you hear or see them in pain, for animal lovers there instinct is to help.

They shouldn’t do so at the risk of getting themselves killed, however. Human life is far more valuable than that of a dog’s.

Dogs are aren’t human family members, they’re just pets

I’m not complaining, but I am currently making a living in Pet Care. 
 

I walk dogs, do daily visits and overnight sitting. People pay me MORE money to take care of their pets than I would taking care of CHILDREN or even my last bookkeeping job.

People sometimes spend more on their cars and electronics than they do on their children - that doesn't make them more important than a life

Brings a whole new meaning to the song

”How much is that doggy in the window?”

I knew a dog once, had only one eye, 3 legs, tail was cut off, ears were shortened, went by the name " Lucky "  😂
