@svnm.0: Amanda Richmond Rogers, 45, disappeared after jumping into the freezing waters of Alaska’s Eagle River to save her dog, Groot, who had fallen through the ice during a walk with Amanda and her husband. Four months later, her body was found in the river, with Groot still in her arms. A heartbreaking discovery that brought an end to the search. 💔 Amanda was a devoted mother who loved her family and animals deeply. To her sons, she will forever be a hero — a mother who risked her life trying to save someone she loved. Her love for Groot never wavered. And her family will never forget the love she gave. ❤️ Via: Original news source not provided. Disclaimer: Shared for awareness and inspirational storytelling.

people who aren’t pet owners won’t ever understand

theviolator1984 :

I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person.

B :

The sad part is that it took four months for anybody to find them. I'll always trust dogs over people.

My mom once did this with her dog when the dog ran out on the street in front of a car. Thankfully the car didn’t hit them

Harper the golden retriever🎀 :

may she rest in peace ❤️back in April I was walking my dog by the lake near our house. she went in the lake chasing some ducks and wouldn't get out. she kept swimming deeper into the lake. a few minutes passed and her teeth started shattering. she seemed disoriented. I said to myself it's now or never. I went in socks, clothes and all. it was 7 in the morning. I swam to get her out. thank God I was able to. later in June a 19yr old went out drinking with some friends in the middle of the night and jumped in the lake. he passed away due to cold water shock. and they still haven't found his body.

norah_oregonian :

This is why it is so important to have a harness and leash on your dog. I know they are in a better place. She was a true angel with love in her heart. 😢

geminipoundcake :

this is heartbreakingly beautiful

Ami :

Same girl.

Her dog was her child to. So people who do not love their pets as much as she did would not understand.

ThomasOnTheTrail :

This would be me.
