Title: Its a sad tale
Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/26/12 at 06:18:14

EUREKA, Calif. (AP) — A couple is dead and their 16-year-old son missing after being swept into the sea in Northern California while trying to save their dog.

A state Parks and Recreation superintendent said the family was at a beach north of Eureka Saturday afternoon when the dog was pulled into the water by ten foot waves while chasing after a stick.

Jones said the boy went after the dog, prompting his father to go after them. She said the teenager was able to get out, but when he didn't see his father, he and his mother went into the water looking for him.

Rescuers retrieved the mother's body and the father's body washed up. The Coast Guard is still searching for the son.

The dog survived.

BUt Who Told it? The dog?

There were a good many people on that beach, there were quite a few people who reported it I thought.

And, Yea pets really are taken to the extreme in our culture. You can get another dog yea yea OK not the same dog, but a dog is a btter swimmer than most humans (I think).

Cool.

10' swell is nothing to mess with, even if the waves aren't breaking onshore there's bound to be crazy rip currents :(

I would not have gone after my dog, much as I love my dogs, I know they swim better than I do,
