1 Insane but true. The firefighter rescuing the doggie is me. Can’t believe I made RANTBURG!

6 Bless you, Rightwing, for being a mensch. I’m really proud that this wonderful story is one of our own — I think that’s the first time for this kind of thing. :-)

7 I had wade waist deep in a frozen pond to retrieve my dog when she fell through the ice. And then walk a mile to my car.

I loved my dog. I can't think of many humans I would have done that for.
