AlexRich Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I’m guessing the monkey made it? I’ve read the same thing about people dying trying to save their dog ... the dog finds a way out and they drown. To err is human. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swerve Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Definitely not the right thing to do. Why do news articles in Thailand continually claim that non-swimmers should attempt to save someone (or something) who may or may not be drowning?

True..but.."Greater love hath no man than he who would lay down his life for a friend." It often brings out the best in us and yes a friend can be a horse,a monkey,dog or cat..etc.It is-paradoxically-the human spirit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post quandow Posted October 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2018 First rule of Rescue - "Assess the situation to see if you won't get hurt attempting a rescue, thereby now having TWO victims instead of one." RIP guy, your heart was certainly in the right place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
