As bizarre as it sounds, a man was arrested for saving his dog from a house fire. The reason being that he put himself and many others, including firefighters, in more danger. But how hard would it be to sit back and see your dog inside with the fire?
“I couldn’t watch no more. I had to go get him.”

So ridiculous he is getting in trouble! The end result was he was able to save his dog and no one else was hurt so why would they carry on with the charges. He made the right decision, I would of done the same thing. Our dogs are our family, shame on the fire and police department for not rescuing him.

There is no way I’d stand there and watch my dog burn to death for any reason, especially not just because someone in a uniform said so. Go ahead, arrest me. The only person that man put in danger is himself and that was his choice. The cops are just mad bc he disrupted their power trip.

No way in hell would i sit and watch my dog die like that.
I can’t believe they arrested him but i hope the judge is a decent dog owner because i doubt there is a court who would find him guilty if he is.
This is another case were the law is an$#%&!@*

Pathetic! Apparently the police aren’t being told by the mayor of his town to let the crowds get it out of their system. In his case, arrest him!
