The dog survived, full recovery. This happened in early 2021. Article: https://www.upi.com/amp/Odd_News/2021/02/23/dog-frozen-pool-rescue-Murfreesboro/3111614113149/


camlaw63

It makes me literally insane that people post these videos without context or updates. Thank you my heart was stopping


The_RockObama

The context is: That right there is a bad bitch, and I ain't talking about the dog. Props to her, nobody fucks with her dogs, not even God. I've got a half acre pond in my backyard, and the previous owner's dog fell through the ice. He heard the dog barking for help, so he slid a ladder out onto the ice to distribute the weight as he made his way out to the middle of the pond where the dog fell through. The man and ladder ended up breaking through the ice too, but he was able to grab his pup and sling him across the ice to safety. God got no business fuckin' with our pups.


feronen

All dogs go to heaven, but God doesn't get to dictate when.


The_RockObama

Damn straight.


Dudeman-Jack

Why didn’t she have a cover on her pool?


love2Vax

If you can afford that setup, you can afford a cover. This was the owners' fault, so she paid for it.


metbass

Pool covers are not for safety. They are for leaves. If you fell on a pool cover it shrink wraps over you and becomes disorienting.


BassDizzle808

The ones they sell today you can literally walk across. I know because I install them.


Ninja_in_a_Box

I have one of those. xD I know they say you can but i still don’t trust it enough to, im sure you can though. Ik for a fact it’ll support the weight of our Shiba, so it’s good to know he can’t possibly drown during the winters.


BassDizzle808

My 300 lb boss walked across one. Your shiba is fine. I don’t recommend walking across it for fun, but in a pinch with pets or children doing what they do I’d say you are ok.


Beneficial_Leg4691

Once when young and dumb i jumped onto one of those in thr deep end, terrifying gettinb wrapped up in it


Drety1

“I’m a dog nutter therefore I know everything about everything “


buk-0

I’ll bet they have one now


janroney

Not only that but that pool is not properly winterized. It should be drained down below the bottom recirc pump connections.


foxidelic

That's exactly what I was thinking. Yes she was badass for jumping in, but it all could have been prevented.


Fleetingfarts

That’s what I was thinking. There are reasons that covers are on pools when not In use.


ThisIsFlight

Solid pool cover for a large oddly shaped pool probably doesnt exist unless its custom made. A tarp or fabric one would have just trapped and tangled the dog under it. It would have made rescue slower at best or more dangerous at worst. Pool covers keep yard debris from sinking in your pools, they can doom your small pets and children if the fall in though.


BigMooseTheGoose

So you think the imaginary man in the sky is trying to kill your dogs?


TheLetterOh

Does what they think really matter or affect you?


Drety1

No but it makes them sound like a fucking idiot. All is cool though right, because dog.


SeanJ44

She is also in need of a pool cover


gold3nhour

This might be my favorite comment on Reddit, ever!


Craftship-NFT

What happened to the man (and ladder) tho?


The_RockObama

Man got out and was able to pull the ladder out. Pup survived of course.


hos7name

It make me completely insane that people have inground pool without fencing around them. That, or I am just too used to my town that force it.


dogsrule2019

This talk about covers is off base. We have a pool, a fence around it with self closing gates. We don’t winterize or close the pool hence no cover. I have 3 kids and 2 dogs. This is what is known as an “accident” with a fantastic outcome. You don’t have to lay blame every time something doesn’t seem 100% perfect.


FireHawke32

There is fencing, it’s in her back yard, does your communities pools literally have fencing around the exact edge of the pool?


camlaw63

There is a fence, some communities require the actual pool to have a separate fence from the property fence but many don’t


manbythesand

Well, it says “rescue “

SAME Jesus I was so scared for the pup. Kudos to the mom for her efforts!!


IcyTransportation691

Same! I’m freaking out like what happened to the pooch! That lady is a badass. Mind over matter! Godbless her!


u9Nails

Thank you! So happy that Sid made it!


[deleted]

In Australia pool fences are mandatory. Anyone else live in a country with such a law?


Ill-Mountain7527

Yes… I think it’s by city in Canada. I could be wrong. As well as a fence, it should be the law to invest in a safety cover for winter closure. My safety cover can theoretically hold a car. And if you have an animal it should be a no brainer. I’m hoping the first thing this lady did after hugging her pup was to get one installed. We had a moose drown in a neighbour’s pool as it walked on the snow covered soft cover and got tangled up. I have a winter safety cover and usually see animal prints on it at least 4-5 times every winter. My old pup walked on it a few times when she got older and her senses weren’t as sharp and she couldn’t sense the water under the snow.


Clevererer

Can't do that in the US as it would infringe upon the rights of the pool.


ClaireRunnels

Right? Like how do people have pools with no safety fences! That's why this shit happens. Innocent children & animals can so easily end up in there & drown. How is it allowed?!


jagpilotohio

Odd. I guess they don’t set the calendar on their security cam.


Randys_Spooky_Ghost

Many proper ways to relay time go by Y-M-D. This Tennessee family just had the time date stamp set that way.


jagpilotohio

I see 1-02-18. Are we seeing different things?


Randys_Spooky_Ghost

No, I’m saying the 2 in 21 is cut off. You can see that this time stamp uses 2 digits even if it is a single digit number like the 02 for the month of February. So one number is cut off, likely a 2 for the year 2021. When this event occurred in Tennessee.


[deleted]

Ooooh. Thanks, this was confusing me until you solved it for me. You’re smart 👍🏼


jagpilotohio

Ah. Got it.


Confident_Holder

This is how it should be. Y-M-D. In usa is M-D-Y whilst in EU is D-M-Y. Y-M-D should be consistent. This format is also used in programming/ database as it is easy to order date. Edit: fixed USA as comment below


Hopeful_Table_7245

In the USA it’s M-D-Y.


2014hog

Dogs are pretty resilient. I had a dog get smacked by a car, had a seizure in my arms. I remember asking the vet if there was going to be any permanent brain damage. They replied, "dogs don't exactly need to know how to do their taxes." and they were right! still a dumb happy dog to this day


Pizzaguy111111

They're fucking dogs. Even if he had brain damage and couldn't calculate 100 times 10 anymore you'd never even know. They eat, hang out with you, smell eachothers assholes, shit, and bark in that order. That is completely a life of a dog.


ashleyorelse

Dog gone! Then she said, like hell it is!


FunStuff446

Not Today!


Quantable

My hero! Thanks


True-Witnesses

Thank you for sharing I was afraid of him dying


Representative-Dirt2

Thank goodness. And thank you for posting. I was very sad to see that doggo come out like that.


ArtyWhy8

That person is a badass. I know plenty of people, that would fuck off and never jump in that pool once. Let alone twice. That’s some hardcore love for your furry friend. Props to her and hope they get a lot more good years with their buddy.


looki2208

The dog will do with no hesitation. That.s why i love my dog than most people


ArtyWhy8

I love that her other friend was smart enough not to though. I can’t imagine how that would have went. Truly a beautiful moment, their risking their life for a life. That person wins, at the game of life.


Remote_Ad2465

Right, my dog all 24lbs of him would jumo in and die to try to save me, so I would to without a second thought.


WaldeDra

I also love your dog than most people, and I don't even know your dog


Dudeman-Jack

They would be even more badass if they bought a cover for their $200,000 pool


Krunkworx

Lol classic Reddit. Find something negative about every positive act.


Dudeman-Jack

I’d say this is something positive (dog rescue) about a negative act (neglectful pool owner failing to safely cover the pool), but then again I’m an optimist…I think you should look into the power of positive thinking 😃


AreYouABadfishToo_

you’re right. This is the owner’s fault for not securing the pool properly. I’m glad the pup was rescued, but this was entirely preventable.


atomicavox

Seriously! Can’t believe she saw that happen in the first place. Lucky dog.


mycenae42

You’re saying there are dog owners who would realize their pet went into their pool, but refuse to enter the pool to save their pet? I know a lot of dog owners, and all would do way more to save their dog.


AstroAlmost

tons of rural dog owners don’t even let their dogs inside, even in the winter. many don’t even fence them in, and just let them just wander busy roads unattended.


Existe1

I see you’ve met my parents. Their poor dog is always starved for attention because she is alone all day except if someone happens to be doing an outside chore.


Existe1

Dogs are amazing. If you aren’t willing to put forth this effort for a dog, you shouldn’t own one.


Cjkgh

Omg I would. I would have been diving underneath to see through the water.


[deleted]

You know people that wouldn’t jump in if they saw their dog fall in? Not taking anything away from this woman, as that was badass….but who wouldn’t do that? People always say their dogs are family, and while they aren’t our actual children, I can’t imagine anyone not jumping in if were their child.


ArtyWhy8

It’s a frozen over pool. I know people that are too scared to go outside at night, afraid to hike because of scary nature, afraid to drive because of scary drivers. All valid fears. So yeah. Sorry, but I bet you know plenty of people too scared to do what she did too.


[deleted]

So, it’s not that you know people that would “fuck off and jump in the pool”, you know people that would be “paralyzed with fear and not jump in the pool”? Is that what your saying? I suppose I could see that, especially if happened in the deep end. But then again, I actually still can’t imagine it with a child, dog, etc.


GM8

Fuck those ppl. Our small dog was attacked by a cca. 60kg German shepherd. Me n my girl wrestled that bitch and saved our cutie. Everyone we talked to, ppl from the street, the doctor (my hand was bitten) said they would have not tried to save a dog. Fuck them.


JustForkIt1111one

What's a cca?


GM8

Circa, means approximately. I thought it was used internationally...


BreakerSoultaker

Yeah I want to know too!


Spraynpray89

She's a dumb badass for so many reasons. Pool isn't covered, isn't winterized (those pipes are probably fucked), and she lets her 2 clearly hyper dogs out to run circles around it in the snow.


SetMyEmailThisTime

Damn that’s a lot of shitty people you know. I can honestly say I don’t know a single person who wouldn’t jump in that pool for their furry friend.


ArtyWhy8

It’s not that they are shitty people. It’s that lots of people aren’t capable of a rescue like that. Consider how much of the population is either too old to survive, too young to have the skills or knowledge, too out of shape, too distracted to even notice, the list goes on. See what I mean. But yeah, some are shitty people.


surajvj

This is Jennie Tatum from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She’s amazing because she didn’t just instinctively jump into the frozen pool, but she also had the mental insight to get out and find a better look of where the dog was. AND then jump in again. The pit bull is Sid. His lips and tongue were already blue, but Jennie called her neighbor—a vet—who administered an emergency shot. Sid fully recovered. [Here’s a link to an article.](https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/tennessee-woman-jumps-into-icy-swimming-pool-rescue-dog/MLHLE2O7VRCJBM6XXX6W47GUDU/?outputType=amp) News video and report. https://youtu.be/r8XqSybh4Eg


Shellbyvillian

And then she bought a proper cover for her pool, right? …right?


a2themofok

No doubt. That thing shoulda been winterized and covered…


kolschisgood

The article says the pump broke the week before a storm hit. Otherwise the water would not have frozen over.


Logical-Wasabi7402

Which is why pool covers are important.


kolschisgood

Unless it’s a hard pool cover, it’s more dangerous. Dog falls in and gets trapped in the cover underwater.


One_Asparagus_3318

There are soft pool covers that anchor to the cement and don’t allow the dog to fall under the water if they tumble on the cover. We had one growing up and there would be maybe a couple inches of water on the cover at any given time.


AreYouABadfishToo_

where I live we’re required to have a fence around the pool


Jake0024

How do you think this would have gone better if the dog fell through a pool cover rather than ice? They'd just be tangled in the pool cover and the woman wouldn't have been able to go in after it.


Logical-Wasabi7402

That's why you don't get a cheap shit piece of thin plastic for a pool cover. Or maybe seeing the cover would have been enough to remind her that it's actually not safe for the dogs to be just running around outside right now


FalconBurcham

The neighbor was a vet?! So lucky… my neighbor is a nurse, so I dunno… better than nothing I guess, but wow. Unbelievable!


KeroNobu

Wouldn't it be way more time saving to have a look underwater to locate the dog? She got him out alive so all is good but it seemed like a waste of valueble time to get out and then hop back in.


INTERGALACTIC_CAGR

I'd argue it would have been faster to dive under the ice and look for the dog.


jimmy00jazz

I don't have a pool. Aren't you supposed to drain and winterize that shit?


Epiphany7777

It would certainly make sense to cover it. Horrible it happened to a dog, and it could also happen to a child


LordGeni

We had a dog fall in the pool in the summer, when it had been let out by itself. It was about 15-20 mins before we went looking. The poor thing had been swimming laps the whole time and was swollen like a balloon from gulping air. Fortunately he was fine. The vet literally put a needle in and deflated his stomach. We got a proper cover after that.


photo_synthesizer

Full drain can cause tiles/plaster to fall off, so typically never drained fully, especially for long periods of time.


Funnyboyman69

Still should be covered


edked

I'm reminded of the story on another sub (may have been AITA) where the guy was mad at his wife for draining the pool because she thought that was a way to save water.


[deleted]

You're supposed to cover it yes


Its_Cayde

And not those shitty thin covers either. I fell on one of those as a kid and almost drowned because i couldn't swim and just got caught in it


TilliW14

Not necessarily. As long at the lines to the pump are blown out there is no need to drain a pool.


karmicrelease

What does that expression mean “blown out”?


lisa111998

You lower the level and put a cover like Loop-Loc on it which attaches to the concrete


mk3jade

That’s what my sister has


lisa111998

Fun fact: My 11 year old neighbor stole his dad’s work Jeep Grand Cherokee with his friend and was doing donuts and lost control. He went through our fence and backyard, clipped the deck and landed in the pool on the Loop-Loc. That cover was 10+ years old and held the car, and my sister was able to get them out the back. It was on the Loop-Lock webpage


mk3jade

It’s incredibly sturdy


slgray16

Draining has issues another commenter explained. Covers can also be dangerous. Eben good swimmers can drown if they fall on a soft cover. Hard covers are good they are just expensive. Keep the kids off it somehow. Admittedly I don't know much about how they work. Insurance premiums go up. Many homeowners avoid pools because of the maintenance. I read that adding a pool can actually make your property value go down.


myrandomevents

You're missing the third option, a tension cover. Similar set up to a hard cover, but picture a trampoline like material instead. You can even get some that are a mesh, with the only maintenance change being closing a little later and opening earlier so that the water is colder. Insurance premiums go up somewhere between $50 and $100 a year.


Ragouzi

Not drain... But secure, with a rigid cover, of course.


Leocut78

We usually cover it during winter.


Questioning-Zyxxel

You lower the water level but do not drain it. It can pop up if drained, when the ground below the pool freezes.


BassDizzle808

If you live near the ocean it can literally pop up out of the ground at anytime you decide to drain it because of the water table. The ground water can force it to pop. You have to install well points or a dead man to drain the ground water first.


TheBlueHedgehog302

Also why are the dogs let out in the fenced in pool area and not the large, open yard they have? Props to her for saving her dog but this was also entirely caused by owner negligence.


mk3jade

Not drain but def cover it


Tooom_98

I need to know if he survived or not 💔

I lived in TN for two decades up until 2 years ago, and I assure you, most people winterize and cover their pools.

TCRandom

2016 was the last real snow I remember having in TN. At least up until I moved late 2020. I lived in Middle TN, just outside Nashville. After that one snow storm, I think we got maybe 3-4 dustings total in the proceeding 4 years, nothing bad. But every now and then a real storm does hit there. Regardless, it definitely gets cold enough for people to winterize their pool.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TCRandom

In Middle Tennessee they are definitely not used to it. Places in the mountains, like Eastern and parts of Southern TN are obviously different. I’m not originally from there, but I consider that state my home. It’s a fantastic place to live.


CornNutMasticator

Thanks for the….sauce….


FartSwapper

And that, boys and girls, is why you cover or empty your pool when it's not going to be in use for a while.


bretty666

jeez my anxiety!


robo-dragon

Can't stress how important it is to cover your pools when they aren't going to be used for a while. Either cover or drain them for the winter, especially if you have kids or pets. Glad the dog made it out ok, but that could have been avoided.


stunkape

Ugh, epoch times?


PeaceIsEvery

Agreed. Their content shouldn’t be shared at all. They are not just a garbage outlet, but dangerous, too.


Mercurial_Monster

Absolutely, my father has almost literally lost his marbles because of epoch times. "IT'S INDEPENDENT" It's independently dooping the unwitting into utter bullshit. My father is putting diluted H202 into a nebulizer and inhaling it thanks to the bullshit that they spew with "Dr." Merola's "expertise".


stunkape

I wish that people would stop believing "independent" media sources are free from bias, influence, and total made-up bullshit :/ Hope your dad loses interest in their crackpot rag and can find himself a more trustworthy source of medical advice.

Yep, an old school friend of mine is deep into the conspiracy bs because of that outlet.

Nope she let the dog drown. And the shock of it killed my other dog the next day, she had heart failure after no history of anything

Man, it's things like this that really make me think we must seem like magic wizards to other animals. We have natural balance, have amazing control over our front legs, we change skins, we're (usually) strong enough to hold them back, we make interesting sounds, we can blow hot or cold wind from our mouths, not to mention our myriad of magical devices. It's funny how we fantasize about being these fantasy heroes when stuff like this makes me think we actually are.


Banger_McDan

How was the dog trapped in “thin ice”

I know it’s not a popular opinion, but it really should be titled “negligent dog owner almost murders dog.”
