VIDEO: Golden retriever rescues struggling puppy from drowning* - NY Daily News

How do we know that the person filming it was not a trainer trying to train the dog to do water rescue or something? There may have been no real danger of the pup actually drowning. Aahhh things can be so misconstrued. Then again I tend to want to believe that humanity as a whole are still decent.

I haven't seen the video and am only assuming what all are saying about it but if during the training the pup is struggling and panicked and in danger of swallowing lots of water and/or drowning, how does even the most ardent trainer stand there and film???????? You can train a dog to get another out of water without the swimmer almost losing its life!!! If he swallows enough water, even though saved from drowning, he could develop pneumonia and die.

If it were a trainer filming it then I would say its one of the worst trainers, you do not put one dog in a scary and dangerous situation to train another. Also the trainer would have been to busy filming then to be in control of the situation like they should have. At least dogs will care for each other when people won't.
