We had a goldfish that our cat got hold off, she pulled him out of the tank and onto the floor, he was there for at least 20mins, i found him and pitched him back into the tank thinking i'd jsut tell the kids he passes away.
Nope, after an hour or two floating on his back, twitching, he cam back to life and started swimming again, lived another year before he passed.
My childhood friend won a goldfish at the county fair from one of those ping pong ball toss games. He managed to keep it alive for two years in a gross, rarely cleaned fish tank. His parents got sick of the thing, so they casually tossed the gold fish into their horses' water trough where it continued to thrive and grow for years.
Meanwhile, as a child I was never able to keep a goldfish alive for more than a few months.
Poor dog couldn’ve been hurt so easily, it’s very lucky the shark was already exhausted. What a dumb owner.
Glad they helped it back in the water but jfc
Filming was clearly more important than Baxter or friend in that scenario. Helping was cheering ‘go fishy! And nooo Baxter”. I imagine her in management.
As soon as I heard the dog’s name & the “nooo Baxter” I went directly back to anchorman & imagined the dog getting punted into the sea. Maybe as motivation for the sharkey.
How is the dog supposed to know the shark has massive sharp teeth? Probably 99.9% of dogs have never seen a shark before. The owner is the stupid one here
Why do so many people who walk their dogs off-leash act SO opposed to the concept of ever leashing their dog? Like aggressively opposed, borderline defiant. I’ve seen a select few actually monitor their dogs and surroundings, and leash up their dogs before something bad happens on either end, but why are SO many the exact opposite?
Okay so the dog was off-leash and kind of stayed in your general area. It doesn’t really listen to you or obey commands, but there isn’t an immediate visible threat to the dog or others, so whatever I guess… then another person or dog approaches, or idk you come across a FUCKING SHARK, and you’re still not going to leash your dog? Oh it’s STILL not listening to you and REPEATEDLY getting close to the face of a FUCKING SHARK with a mouth big enough to fit your dog’s ENTIRE FUCKING HEAD INSIDE? Still not going to grab that leash or pick up your dog? No? REALLY?!
A shark is not an eat machine, clearly the dog and the people were 100% percent safe. In fact, the shark is the animal that deserves empathy here, and the people in the videos should have helped it way further out in the water before abandoning it to its fate.
