YT 1000 Club Member | Couple drowns attempting to save their dog... a sad but very heartbreaking story. This shows how much this "mom and dad" loved their baby. I am praying there are close relatives who can now adopt and give this furbaby a home filled with love. Massachusetts couple drowns trying to rescue dog from lake - U.S. News

| How very sad. I'd hope people might learn from this and use life jackets more, even on their dogs.

| Very sad. I can picture this happening...who wouldn't jump in after their furbaby & try to save him/her. I'd be over the edge of that boat in heartbeat to save ZoE. Obviously this pup meant the world to this couple. I hope a family member gets this baby out of the municipal shelter it was taken to.

| This was all over the news last night. How tragic and sad! The pup is sooo cute. I really hope the family does not blame the pup and put him in a shelter.

| so sad and I can relate since we live on a lake and Lola loves the boat and water, but it scares me that she will jump in, so she has a life vest on at all times and a long tether. I am sort of surprised they drowned though, they said it was a pond, they must not have been great swimmers. to bad they did not think to bring in the float cushion you are supposed to have with you at all times when boating

I think they husband most likely just dove in out of reaction to save their dog and once he was in distress his wife dove in to save him. Its just so sad. This to me is why I annoy my kids with emergency practice exercises. Reacting is natural responding safely for everyone takes training.

| No, it's a West Highland Terrier. This story even made our local news in Michigan.
