I love animals as much as the next person, and I'm particularly fond of dogs. But after a couple of sad stories this morning I'm a little curious about the priorities of Melbournians.
The first story involves "hero" dogs whose barks woke up their owner during a house fire. Sadly, the four Jack Russell dogs all passed away in the blaze. No doubt about it, you have to feel for the guy who is now in hospital. It elicited numerous responses from Herald Sun readers - so far 16 comments.
Such insightful comments too like "what wonderful brave dogs to save the owner and only to lose their lives, sad case again" from Tia Maria and "poor man had no family and freinds and his beloved companions perished . Im guttered and saddened for this poor individual and his dogs" from Peter Koulis.
And then we come to another sad story. A woman in her 30's died in a Brunswick West flat fire on Sunday morning. And didn't that bring out the comments from the readers? So many messages of sympathy must have been added that the Herald Sun was overwhelmed. At least that's a theory. At last count the amount of comments added to this story was...zero. Not a one. I guess she didn't have a dog.
