Man dies trying to save dog

[pitc9]

He sounds like an "a-hole"? Thats funny, to me he sounds like he is a man grieving the loss of his young son, who is probably pretty angry at the situation. Everyone handles stress and trauma differently.
RIP Justin.

We all agree that the man is grieving the loss of his son, but Blade is all he has left of his son... why wouldn't he want to hold on to him?
So what may "sound funny" to one person is another person's opinion.

So tragic.

I agree everyone is entitled to their opinions, but calling a man who just lost his son an a-hole is crossing the line.

If I was in the man's shoes I would probably want to keep the dog, as a reminder of my son, but I understand why this man may not want to keep the animal.

What a sad story.

Jackie , i am entitled to my opinion and no i dont think i have crossed any line, if someone i loved or cared about especially my son or daughter died that way, i would do whatever it was possible to care for the poor animal, knowing that is what my lost loved one would have obviously wanted, considering he did die for the dog.
Poeple do grieve differently , but to me the man sounds like he was a little harsh.
And i was expecting someone to say i was out of line, but am allowed to say what i feel.

What a tragic situation. I hope the man is just speaking out of grief
and sadness. I probably would want to keep the dog since he was one my
child loved so much.

Maybe he doesnt want the dog because everytime he looks at the dog hes reminded that his son died. and since its french on everyons mind... the reminder isnt a happy one.


i had a friend who gave me something who is now dead.. and i put it up away in a box under my bed out of my eye sight as i found that it was a rather bad reminder and just made me sad everytime i seen it.
