Why would he put his dog in water where sharks may be? I wouldn't call the coast of Florida to be 'shark-infested' but there IS still a reasonable expectation that sharks could be nearby.
I can't call this guy a hero, I'm sorry. He (and puppy) are very lucky. This could have been much worse. Hopefully he'll find safer places for puppy to swim from now on.

Did anyone else notice that "Daddy" had a ziplock bag containing terrier snackage and what looks like his fav green froggy toy?! Awwwwwwwwwww! Sweet man - lucky rat terrier! Glad story had a happy ending. Now I gotta go and pack my boxing gloves in my doggy park tote bag just in case I gotta punch someone or something out who messes with my beh beh Chihuahua!

I LOVE the ending of this story. You can really tell that this is a loving man just by looking at him. I would have punched a shark to protect my animal too!!!!! A real hero!

Well I do think the SHARK was even smaller than the dog and should get some of the attention. Please remember that sharks are animals too and surprisingly have to eat also. So instead of throwing the dog into the see, throw some food (for sharks and other sea creatures=

I'm glad to hear the puppeh and the guy are ok.
Also... when I saw the line about someone "punching" a shark, I thought of Xena (the Xena TV series character) fishing by punching the fish...

Too sweet! I can tell this is a nice man by looking at the laugh and smile lines on around his mouth and eyes. But ehn! Even nicer than expected.

Poor puppers.
