Grapesoda: did I just see your rescue on TV?
 

Is Eddie an English Mastiff? If so, CBS News just showed your rescue.

Yes you did that is Brian & Eddie's rescue. You see them at 8:54 in the video below.

He is homeless now

His house burned down with almost all of his equipment

Here's the GoFundMe for GFYer Grapesoda

Just freaking wow. How horrible.

Sheesh....

eddie was like... is this muther landing at the vet for shots???? :helpme:helpme:helpme

Here are some pics Brian took during the rescue and posted in a different thread

The chopper was heading back for fuel when they made the detour, I guess.

Very sorry to see this, so sad :Oh crap Best wishes Grapesoda :thumbsup

Presenter Del Bigtree says at the start of this video he's just lost his house too, he appears to be coping surprisingly well. At 1h10s he goes to take a look at the remains.

That's unrelenting . . .

yes you did lol!!

eddie did not like getting in the chopper at all lol!! the poor guy is still freaked out, yesterday is the first time he has eaten, he does not leaver my side very often

how you doing?

That's a wild video. Got a little chuckle out of watching you lift Eddie up into the back of the chopper. Reminds me of my dog. Big old tubby who gets his front up but refuses to do his back without help.

my poor dog as has hip dysplasia so common in the bigger dogs

Dude this video is everywhere! I'm deeply sorry for your misfortune. However, the pictures and footage are absolutely breathtaking.

Yeah makes sense, mine is too young for that yet. He'll be 2 Dec 9th. Chocolate Lab.

Fucking AAaaaaaaaaa!!

Footage showed up here on CTV National News as well.

Did you signup with GettyImages and submit your work? They pay well.

wow what an amazing rescue, glad you and your dog are ok.

op you really need to give thanx to those rescuers :2 cents::2 cents: they risk their lives for you! they almost crashed in that lot of trucks

They didn't do shits for me. Put down the crack pipe.

sorry rip van winkle working and mixed up threads. idiot...

Sad ........:disgust

Thank goodness there was little looting during this disaster.

Looting: Talk about adding insult to injury...

Some dude was on the radio yesterday that stayed through the fire, him and his neighbors because the road was blocked by flames before they had the chance to get out. This was a rural area so they had space between their houses and were able to cut out fire blocks with their tractors to save their houses.


Anyway, the dude said he went out to the road by his house and found multiple cars just stopped in the street blocking the road and he ended up rescuing 12 dogs that people left in the abandoned cars.

Makes you wonder what happened to the people. I can only assume they must have been evac'd by police or firemen or something for so many of them to leave their dogs like that. I couldn't imagine anyone would attempt to make a run for it and just leave the dogs in the cars like that.

yeah I saw parked cars everywhere... no dogs but then I couldn't get back for 5 days. if the copter missed us I would have went down the south side of the hill WITH my dog on foot.
I made a spiritual commitment to care for that animal when I took possession of him. some people are just of low quality. in fact you can see that very openly on GFY :2 cents:

Scary shit bro...where you at now?

my daughters place in Lancaster.. worried they are going beat me up for having a set of beautiful gels :2 cents:

White people lived there....:2 cents:

oh stop it, too hard to access
