No doubt...if you're any kind of parent at all you jump in and try and save your kid. The second they went in, id be behind them.

Wouldn't your kin typically outlive you?

That is what I was referring to, yes.

How did a two year old get into your pool? Sounds like some solid parenting was in play there.

The cover had just been removed and my Aged Mother was out back with him, I was in the house and heard screaming and ran outside to see him in the water. I jumped in immedietly and pulled him out. Oh and I almost forgot you're a cowardly pussy.

I can't blame a wild animal for doing what a wild animal does.

So...uh...that was probably a pretty short fight. I have a hard time faulting anyone but the mother here as I can't imagine that kid was alive for more than a few seconds after it hit the ground.

If the child survived the initial 14+ foot fall.

Additionally, Painted Dogs have quite an aggressive demeanor when it comes to eating/hunting.

I know a pack of them could take a man....but maybe a bigger target, a man not a boy, would have changed things. maybe a full grown man could have kicked the shit out of a few of them and drove them off. dude....if it was your kid....you'd jump in. it's just like that.

It is admirable and while I don't have children, I have no idea what I would do.

The reality is, a grown man doesn't stand a chance against 4 Painted Dogs in attack mode, much less 11.

The answer is yes no matter what. As a parent you don't have a choice.

Clearly I don't have children...
It just seems like I'd rather not leap to a certain death - while leaving my wife and other children, possibly. I mean, you're essentially talking about suicide.

Those dogs would rip you apart. I don't care how much of a badass you think you are you aren't winning that fight.

The mother should have been tossed in though.

Not necessarily, sounds like the trainer was there. The situation would have certainly changed.
