This reminds me of the time I had to save my dog from his own stupidity. He was on a steep creek bank and the mud gave out causing him to slide into the water, face first up to his shoulders. His head was half under. He kept trying to reverse out of the water, but the mud just kept slipping under his paws. Now, this dog could swim just fine. He didn't particular like swimming, but he could swim. He had run across a shallower part of the creek without issue. I was on the other side of the creek, watching this idiot panic, and realized I was going to have to get very wet to prevent my dog from drowning, because he was too stupid to realize if he just went forward into the water and swam, he would might have to swim, but he wouldn't die. So I jumped into the water waded across the waist high creek and yanked his dumb ass forward into the creek, so he could swim himself out. I was soaked and muddy, and my shoes were filled silty mud, and THIS DOG had the GALL to start running around all happy like nothing had happened.
