Didn’t sign up for this sh!t.
Update: Woman’s best friend too, it seems -
A judge has praised a hero dog after he chased off a sex attacker who indecently assaulted a woman in a park.
Two-year-old Rottweiler Jake was on his usual evening walk with owner Liz Maxted-Bluck, 49, when he heard screaming from a dense woodland and ran to investigate.
He found Esmahil Adhami, 18, molesting a woman he had dragged into the undergrowth.
The fearless hound lunged at the illegal immigrant and chased him away – and then circled the sobbing victim ‘like a guard dog’ until the police arrived.
Adhami, an Iranian citizen, was in the UK illegally it turns out.
Although German by decent, Jake was apparently a native born Briton.
I think it’s true, at the end of the day, that the world would be a better place if we would all strive to be the people that our dogs believe us to be.
Beats hanging your head out the car window all to pieces.
Aw, poor dog.
LOL! Guy.
Nope…lucky dog…most people pay upwards of $300 for a tandem jump. This is on Uncle’s dime.
Scooby Doo!
Rut Ro!
Rin Tin Tin!
VX, you speak canine better than Mongo does.
Reminds me when, in the 50s, they were testing out humans ability to withstand hi-g sudden stops on jet sleds on rails at White Sands or somewhere. Before using humans (like Col John Stapp) they used to strap gorillas on. At end of test they would be rewarded with a banana. One such test subject–after being subjected to the rigors of test-dummy status–took the banana proffered by one of his “wranglers” and squashed it back in his face! LOL!!
Oh man! You outed them! ACLU thinks tossing dogs overboard is right up there with waterboarding.
Hey the Para Pooch is along for the ride–and enjoys it. I see that there’s a muzzle on the dog in case he wants to bite the sumbitch that dragged him out of the plane. But it looks like a pretty sturdy harness–and he’s strapped to his handler. But I doubt that ol Helmut (he’s an Austrian Special Forces dog after all) really signed up for this particular task. But what the heck, in for a pfennig, in for a pound.
They used Schillings in Ostereich. Fritz used the Mark (and Pfenning). I’m sure Fido doesn’t care much for the ride, and the muzzle is probably more a precaution against the consequences of getting injured and lashing out, as well as making sure that he doesn’t try to get a taste of anyone in the AC he’s not on good terms with.
I’d hazard a guess that the muzzle is to keep the jowl-flapping down to a minimum. Our German Shepard likes to sit tall in our convertible, then tilt his head back. His jowls do a good job of impersonating a flag. This is a 60 miles/hour — imagine what happens at terminal velocity (~120 mi/hr).
flapflap
I’m figurin’ the muzzle was a mod II. First jumper learned the hard way!
I remember KING or KOMO showing dogs jumping back in the early ’80s, but that was low-altitude static line. They seemed happy enough.
this proves that dogs are smarter than humans, at least the jump qualified ones. %-)
:LOL: Don’t know what the dog must have been thinking.
Hey Boss; why do you want to kill me?
Not so much muzzle as an Ox mask. HALO.
From dogs body position looks like he’s gonna drop a steamer
So what’s the terminal velocity of a steamer? Surely there must be some military study as to whether canines keep their sh!t together?

Provides all sorts of visuals of free falling poops tumbling down. Do they speed past their original owner?
Only on Turdsdays
Ban Him Lex!
And how does one do a landing roll in that configuration?
I saw your followup—that Rottweiler was defective. There’s no report that he took a big bloody bite out of the assailant’s backside. But I’ll give him a B for effort in chasing the scum off.
“I think it’s true, at the end of the day, that the world would be a better place if we would all strive to be the people that our dogs believe us to be.”
Lex, I’ve been a quote collector since my teens. You just made it into my collection.
I wish I was the person my dogs think I am too.
They love you no matter what you do, don’t they?
Subsunk
I’ve had a dog rebel at some of things I asked of them. I was very small at the time, however.
Yeah, don’t they.
Personally, I wish wives could be more like dogs.
If through absolutely no fault of your own your wife and your dog accidentally got locked in a utility closet, which one do you think would be happier to see you two hours later?
