Dog Dad of the Year Award Goes to...

[Andrea]

The man who punched a shark to save his dog :eek:
One of my dog children looks a lot like his dog, too.

The link to a video on CNN: Man Punches Shark (http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/09/30/dnt.fl.man.punches.shark.wsvn)

I would do the same thing if a shark came after any of my kids. That little guy is adorable. He is expected to make a full recovery. The guy adopted him from a shelter. A true hero!

I just saw that on the tv. That shark was in the marina! :eek: OM Gosh! I guess we would all at least attempt to do that, but how scary! That was a small dog and he had wounds, but didn't lose a limb or anything major! Unbelievable.

The closest I can say I came to that was picking up a GARDNER snake (so NOT dangerous) that had a frog in it's mouth (it was my pond frog from the back yard -- not a random one!), and flinging it around against the ground until it let go. Trust me -- it probably looked as crazy as it sounds. PS.. snakes stink when they are stressed! Learn something new every day!

This just made my day. :) You can see the compassion in the dad's eyes as he tells the horrifying tale of seeing a shark come after his little dog. That poor little terrier......he looks so traumatized. :( :( I just want to give him a tiny little hug for being so brave.
