This might be the best thing you watch today (maybe this week, actually, all things considered). This afternoon Fox anchor Shep Smith brought his famous car chase narration abilities to a dog rescue. The dog in question somehow fell into the Los Angeles River this afternoon and Shep followed his increasingly desperate struggle down the river, and subsequent helicopter rescue(!) by the L.A. fire department, as only Shep can. If you don’t watch Shepard Smith on a regular basis this is a good chance to see one of the reasons he’s so adored.

“Of course the dog is scared! How could it not be terrified? Like there’s a wind machine above me and now there’s a man in red and yellow suit coming at me. Get him! Get him! Don’t hurt anybody now. Be a good doggy. He doesn’t mean anything bad….Think how scared the dog is now. First you’re in the water, then you’re streaming down the water, then there are people throwing rafts at you. Then there’s a chopper overhead and now some dude has come and grabbed you. And if you’re the dog you’re like what are you going to do to me now. Now I’m going to fly! Now I’m a flying dog?!

It’s even better on television. Video below.

I’m trying to find out where the dog ended up. The rescue hero (yayy for him — what a guy!!) ended up in the hospital with dog bites on hand and arm, but no one seems to know what happened to the dog, other than he survived. Hope the guy’s wounds aren’t bad.

Typical Blue State Compasion.

@BJL411
“Typical Blue State Compasion.”

Really? Do people in a Blue State know how to spell COMPASSION?

I wonder if you’d be talking about typical Blue State compassion if the mediaite story was something like this:
Blue State Compassion

Even more compassion

Blue state or red state, it doesn’t really matter, does it?

OMG! I can never talk bad about Glynnis again, you are a good egg!

And BJL411, that crap is cold and old. One good thing about going to a Shelter is the dogs & cats inside don’t care if you’re Blue or Red. They are just glad you are there giving them something their ex-owners didn’t have……Compassion.

lynnevere here’s a link to the story, the dog is fine and at the shelter.
