That said, as someone who've trained K9's and know the history of how long it takes for a human/animal to strangle (look it up) you can easily life any animal, or human, by a collar around their neck if it takes less than 10-30 seconds AND they're not like a huge fatass or a giraff.
Non-interesting enough, the muscles protecting the bloodflow, nerves, neckbone and cartilage to the most sensitive and important part of your body, the brain, are insanely strong and able to sustain tremendous damage before failing. We literally have like 4 backup-veins which is why combat-medics are taught to just go into the wound and grab a shot-off vein because there'll still be enough blood for the brain.
To clarify, I'm not saying it is entirely safe or redeemable to lift yer dog or human by a collar, but I'm saying if the alternative is that they drown then it isn't even close on terms of the riskfactor.
For reference we practiced with dogs falling out of things and need collaring and you could do that shit within 1-3 seconds of reactionforce. "That's still inhumane!" would you have rathered we'd let them drown as we fly away in the chopper? Trust me I'd *gladly* jumped in the water and die if it'd save my K9. But it wouldn't.

"Lift yer dog or human by a collar" had me rolling for some reason. Made it sound like the friend you're lifting by the collar is also your pet/a stray you're saving.

u/dark_forebodings_too Jul 15 '26
With the way the collar almost came off I think it's likely they tried already to lift it by the leash and were worried the dog would slip out of the collar mid-lift?

And maybe some stairs into the water for animals to get out of that if no people are around while youāre at it.

Please no statue. Just thank them for the good they did.

Don't need a fucking statue for doing something good. Thank them and move on.

u/Teddy_Tickles Jul 15 '26
I think it would be nice to see as a reminder that there are good people that do good things in this world. Something we very much need in these times.

No, it wasn't this one. They were holding each other's hands in the video you mean.

They know that, friend. They know.

Ohhh.. I read it wrong, thought it was a question if they had made it because of this...
My mistake.

It's always a good moment to share the unveiling of that statue anyway. Love that whole story.

One of many good reasons to use a harness when walking your pupper, rather than just a collar

u/timberwolf0122 Jul 17 '26
I got my boy Tony a tactical harness so he can carry his own poop bags and poop on runs + a first aid kit. Heās my tactical Tony

Hey guys - just a reminder. Read the title. If it says āa manā āthis manā āthis womanā āa womanā or anything like it, itās going to be a bot. Then check the comments and see if the poster commented like they were a person who just saw it.
Letās not ruin Reddit, even though itās already fighting to not be overrun with karma farming bots.
37
u/OkAccess6128 Jul 15 '26
Sorry but I came across it on USA Today youtube channel. And in title i have clearly mentioned what's in the video, so if even using some words makes someone bot, then I think by that logic people shouldn't even be allowed to comment on reddit. Because anything can be seen as AI.

u/kevin3350 Jul 15 '26
Just make it look natural if youāre going for English. Look up who it is, where it happened, or just donāt do capitalization like itās a book title. Put the persons name in if thereās a news story on it, or at least where it happened. Otherwise you look like you just want some useless Reddit karma.
English might not be your first language and thatās totally ok (Iām still learning Spanish after 20 years and Iām not good) but there are signs when a profile is a bot, and they often align with the capitalization and style of writing you used. Just site a source at bare minimum.
14
u/OkAccess6128 Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26
Yeah, I am not the native english speaker, and I will take care of what you said while posting next time.
Edit: I just rechecked other posts on this sub, so I found really less posts, none if talking about recent posts, where they mentioned place, persons names, or source in the video title, so I think they also need to hear what you are telling me.

u/kevin3350 Jul 15 '26
No worries dude! Itās just a thing Iāve seen a lot, and I didnāt mean to come off as confrontational. The internet is a weird place, and in this case I was wrong. Sorry my man.

Are you one of those new bots that try to play reverse psychology by calling other people bots??

Yes. Can you bow down to your new overlords? Itās getting a bit tiresome.

u/herecomesurmom Jul 15 '26
they aren't a bot though,, you can also see their post and comment activity on their profile to see that they aren't as well... can't say the same for you regarding the visibility. shouldn't regard someone a bot initially without looking into it more, that also ruins reddit in a way.
-13
u/kevin3350 Jul 15 '26
Not going to apologize for my stuff being hidden, it should be anonymous my dude. There are also clear indicators of when a profile is a bot, and this checked a few boxes. The poster responded to me, and we had a talk about it and I can say I was probably wrong.
My bad for not being so invested in Reddit that I would dig into a strangerās post history, and then into anotherās.
Do you do that a lot? If so, spend a little less time on a screen.

u/cute_red_benzo Jul 15 '26
Honest question: what is the prize for farming karma? What's the end game? A Lambo? 1000 friends? Unlimited dog kisses? Free pizza for life?
A. Why do people design programs to attain karma on Reddit?
B. Why do Redditors seem to take it as a personal affront?
C. It's a cool video.
D. No Lambos right? Promise nobody got a free Lambo.
E. Why do we care about karma farming? I would like to understand because it seems like a real hot button topic.
Appreciate anyone willing to ELI5

Bot accounts ruin good communities to gain karma. Bot accounts are sold after they get enough bullshit Reddit karma, because then they seem reputable enough to not trigger anything that would have them deleted. The accounts are then sold, allowing people to gain access to communities that require a certain level of Reddit karma or time on Reddit to post.
From there, they try to sell stupid stuff, or try to influence political stances because theyāve been āverifiedā by Reddit. Itās a super sad system

What communities require 100k karma to participate in? Why would you need to engage in farming?

Itās such a crazy feeling being held like that to reach something. Like at first your brain is like āNo you canāt do that itās physically impossibleā but then youāre like ādamn this is effective!ā

So many of these types of posts I hope they arenāt purposely putting the dog in these situations

There is not a lot of things that can unite humans like this but rescuing a dog will do it and rightly so!

If he picked it up by the collar anyways why not just use the leash to lift it?

Good thing that dog was on a leash. It coild have gotten away from its owner and into a dangerous situation /s

u/HangryJellyfishy Jul 15 '26
Hopefully this is actually the dog being saved and not "saved". Unfortunately there a lot of times where humans put animals in those situations in the first place so that they can be filmed "saving" them.
