This is just a result of a deeper problem. People need to start taking responsibility for their actions and not blaming others. Granted had this man died someone could have easily sued the city legally but it wouldn't have the city's fault - the man made that choice. On the other hand - The animal right groups are constantly hollaring that animals need to be treated like humans. Had that been a human child the firefighters could have broken the window to save the child themselves. I'm wondering if it was that easy for the man to save his dog without getting injured then why couldn't the firefighters possibly have done something more? I know there could have been a backdraft but there are other ways of checking for that possibility first or at least warning the other firefighters to skirt the dangerous area. I realize that the city was covering their back but I think it's cowardly to run scared from these pathetic lawsuits at the possible cost of this man's dog and perhaps the only family he had.
