The way this kid looks at the camera as they pull him up makes me think this is like the 10th time he's had to do this.

The first few times he was afraid of hitting his head and made a fuss, it obviously took training (he was natural when the concrete was right next to his face while his hands were full)....

I have noticed this trend of using masculine pronouns, even when the post title or caption makes it known it's a girl, for a couple years now. There have been other posts where "he" and "him" are used on children that are obviously girls. The clearest example was a post of a dad who had his daughter on the wakeboard with him and she fell off but he caught her; she's wearing a ponytail and a pink diaper and the commenters are still calling her a boy.
It's a really interesting and annoying form of sexism but not that big of a deal in the long run.

Imagine if the strap broke or he slipped off. Then they'd have to strap a 5yo to rescue the 3yo who was initially sent to rescue the pup. Then the 5yo's strap broke...

If the harness breaks they’ll keep sending toddlers down. Perfect plan.

Soon they'll just be able to climb down there over the pile of toddlers.

My initial thought after viewing was if the harness broke and the kid got stuck reddit would absolutely grill this dad.

Using your own child as a claw machine is certainly a thing you could do

The way the adult grabbed the dog and then walked off while the kit was still tied up, supports this 100%

lol dude grabs a random kid off the street to save his dog.
“Alright buddy. I’ll give you a WHOLE DOLLAR to help me!”

I'm just pissed they didn't string the kid up from the waist so they could go down mission impossible style

u/Soft_Philosophy5838 43m ago
That only applies if the child chooses to accept the mission, which is clearly not the case here.

I love how he picked up the dog immediately and left his child or whoever’s child he rented.

My father actually did something very similar with me back then, also to rescue some puppies. In the process, I scraped off a large patch of skin on my stomach on a sharp, flat object, and a large nail left a scar about 15 cm long on the right side of my stomach.
Many years later, when I was getting to know women and they noticed the scar, I would always tell them this story, which is actually completely true. It usually went over pretty well.

Saved a dog trapped in a pond once. I felt like such a hero.

You are!
I once jumped off a large rock into a river for a swim, and a nearby hiker’s dog hopped in after me. I didn’t need the help, but it was p heroic behavior all the same.

Look… Don’t give me wrong. I’m happy. The puppy is safe, but I feel that there was a much better way we could’ve gone about this then potentially sacrificing a child…

Yeah I mean even before we get to the shitty harness (you can make a harness with a rope, which that’s not even a rope, and this is not the way to do it), why put the kid at risk? Just call emergency services for non emergencies

This looks like one of those shitty channels that put the puppy in that situation on purpose and rescue it to get likes.

Relax you goof, he's harnessed and the hole isn't deep enough that an adult couldn't just pluck him out with their arms.

I would do a lot to save an animal, but my son is easily the most valuable thing in my life. I would never risk his health.

If something goes wrong you will have a trapped puppy and a trapped child. Using adhoc harness seems quite risky. I would have found a safer way.
