Wow very sad indeed. Some people are pretty cynical in here but its hard to explain the love for a pet, especially one like a dog. I know my brothers friend once saw his dog fall through ice in a sizable pond. The kid broke the ice at the shore, swam underneath and saved his dog. Could he have died? For sure. But when you see someone (or something) that you love in peril the reaction is natural. Just like the father went in after his son. That dog could have been the kids best friend. He was around 16 as well.
