@@missnyb7351 Its actually a terrible idea to go into a burning building if you're wet under most circumstances (it's a pretty bad idea to go into a burning at all). The water on your skin and clothes turns to steam really fast and that steam will burn you a lot faster than the flames will since your skin can't react as well to the heated water vapor. If you're going from a burning building to outside in the early stages of the fire, it can help if youre lucky. But taking a round trip into the building from outside you want to be dry.

I am 74…when I was a child…must have been 4 years old, we lived in Lubbock, Texas…back then children ran all over unheeded. One day, I happened to look inside the gate of a tall wooden fence that surrounded a back yard when I spotted a cocker spaniel splashing in a swimming pool trying to get out unsuccessfully. I ran if and flopped down on the ground by the edge of the pool where the puppy was splashing, reached out and grabbed it…and gave as might a pull as I could manage. I was able to get the dog out and to my young mind, it was now safe. The pup ran up onto a porch and into a doggie door while I ran out and hightailed it home. I never told my mother because I knew I would probably get a spanking but I was always glad that I had pulled the little dog out of that pool. I guess that little dog has been gone for 60 years or more now but I have never forgotten it and I hope it had good thoughts about little redheaded, freckled-faced girls now and again.

I love that Tonkins was willing to square off with a Kangaroo for his dog. And the punch was absolutely necessary to protect himself

[@scoutylugs]

100% For all the idiots complaining about that punch to the kangaroo, if you’re not from Aust and/or haven’t dealt with Roos or seen how they fight… stfu. The Roo was not hurt, it was just given a shock to back it off from an attack and given where ol boy found himself after rescuing his dog, it was necessary. That Roo’s posture is half bluff, half prep to fight. Roo’s postured up like that are deciding if they’re about to lean back on their tail and let loose with those back legs and then move in to F you up! You can see it loading up to attack as it shuffles forward with its weight supported by its tail so it can let those hind legs fly. It shunts forward a few times to get in range as it’s deciding whether to attack or not. That’s a fighting move/shuffle, not a normal kangaroo hop. Ol boy here puffed up also (natural) gave the Roo a quick a shock, stepped back and then they both disengaged. In the circumstances he possibly saved himself a serious injury (we can’t tell what the Roo MIGHT have done - but we can sure say the shock of it made the Roo reconsider and not act). Also, the Roo wasn’t a Red (per some comments) and also nowhere near 6’5” (like some Reds can get) as you can see even postured up it’s still just shorter than guy. BUT a strong large Grey roo can still F you up badly. I’m NOT advocating nor condemning hunting, am making no comment on the dog getting caught to start with or why they were there - that’s a YOU position to decide, HOWEVER if you’ve just run in to save your Dog and a big Grey shapes up, you wanna try and back it off BEFORE it decides to lean into that tail and let loose with the hind legs. Greys regularly fight each other where I’m from. We’ve had to stop soccer games and practise because they have come into the pitch to go at each other and i can tell you, an angry Roo is scarier than you may think. They’re also much much stronger and tougher than you’d imagine. I’ve had a Roo half this size jump out in front of my car at night while I was doing around 25mph (40km/hr) and when I hit it, it was thrown at LEAST 40 feet down the road, sliding on the bitumen before getting up, looking around and hopping off without any major visible injuries. Was awful that it was hit and I hope it was ultimately ok, but I can tell you, they’re TOUGH! This punch did nothing to really hurt the guy, it just backed him out of attacking. Finally - these lads are Aussie hunters going after pigs. Believe me when I say they are armed to take that Roo out without a seconds hesitation - but they don’t, they let it leave once his dog is safe. If anything, that was what surprised me given the normal culture of pig (and roo) shooting - he just wanted his dog safe and they let the Roo on it’s way. Many hunting groups wouldn’t have.

@@calisongbird Go face off against a wild boar. IF you survive the encounter, which is highly unlikely becuse they weigh around 800 pounds and will attack and kill unprovoked, THEN come back and whine about people hunting them. I, for one, am very thankful for the men who hunt wild boar, because wild pigs will destroy acres upon acres of farmland in one night, and they won't even eat everything they destroy. The men who hunt them also dress them in the field and then donate the meat to help feed poor people. So nothing of the hunt goes to waste, the farm's produce is saved, and an extremely dangerous animal is culled. Win, win, win!

I would've ran into a burning house for her. I would've climbed a deadly high height to save her. I would done just about anything to keep her alive. I spend tons of money just to prolong her life and give her some comfort before I had to make the hard choice. And, even then, I almost didn't go through with it. But, I knew she was hurting so I did it. It's been over a year and I still well up from time to time if I'm looking through pictures of her. She was cute a button too. She was an angel in cat form.

This doesn't involve animals, but I remember when my grandpa broke a tree down with one arm and he fell with it. The whole time he had his beer in his left hand and he never dropped it. It was barely bent up. He just got up and looked at us then took a drank and kept walking 🚶‍♂️🍺 😂😂 P.S. Please don't attack me! This incident just reminded me of a situation that was dangerous, yet he never let go of his product lol

I once found a kitten in the middle of a back road street one night (well around dusk). It was tabby so I didn't see it til almost one it, so I swerved to put it between my tires so I didn't flatten the poor thing, stopped jumped out and got him. I was able to adopt him out to someone else, as I already had 3 cats. But the adrenaline from the near miss alone was wild.

@@erikagonzalez7070 From what I have read that is one of their fighting tactics. I live in England and have never met a roo but from the way he had the dog it's what it immediately looked like to me, as so unlikely he was giving the pooch a good cuddle 😊

[@AikoFox]

@@angr3819 It was, and its also very common for them to drag or lure dogs out into water and drown them. I like kangaroos but they can be pretty savage so I understand doing anything to save a pet from it because I'd do the same. Once they have your pet in their clutches, as cute as Roos may be, they will fck your pet up if you can't get it to let go. I had ppl tell me about the water issue and didn't want to believe it but then I saw the videos and I still don't have the words to express my mixed up feelings BC it looks like they do it for fun like a hobby. They are very smart and do some shocking things that are premeditated 😣

Watching the rescue of the kitten in the road is awesome. One of my cats took cover in a car and dropped out on a busy road. Thankfully my coworker saw and brought him to work. ( I worked at a vets office) I took the lil feral kitten in and he is close to 15 years old now. One of the most loving cats I have had. Oh and namex him Mater after the tow truck on cars. I figured he had the tow of his life that day.😁

[@MIX3DVI3WS]

Thank you for taking the kitty in. I have 6 rescues. I recently found a 3 month old pregnant female. Very very small. Had fleas and ear mites, (not anymore) she's close to birthing and we're excited. She is my 6th and last legally. Wish I could take more in. We've upgraded our apartment to a 3 bedroom sp we have all the room for our family. Cats are everything. I feed all the strays, I de-flea them, make sure I give them all love before and after work. There's 25 cats in my area I've counted, 10 are tattooed, and I feed them all! I can't stand seeing these cats hungry Some I have taken in and rescues have picked them up and adopted them out. I do what I can. And will continue to help as many cats as I can.
