Save the Jack Russell First!


From The Huffington Post
comes this tale out of southern Africa:
A sailor made sure to rescue his beloved pet dog from their sinking yacht – before returning to save his wife.

Graham and Sheryl Anley were on a three-month sailing trip, accompanied by their nine-year-old Jack Russell Rosie, when they hit a reef off the coast of South Africa on 4 August, The Zimbabwe Times reported.

As the vessel began sinking, Graham gathered Rosie – who was wearing her own specially-made dog lifejacket - into his arms and swam ashore with her.

Once the hound had been safely deposited on dry ground, he returned to fetch his wife, whose safety line had become snagged on the yacht’s steering gear.
