Thinking of quotes, the one that amused me earlier - I think he was man quening for petrol for a couple of hours, "even the grocery stores are shut" - his neigbours houses are blown down but he cannot get to the shop to buy his cornflakes.

 

Meant to be have been the most powerful?

I’d leave it down out of curiosity. It’ll be impenetrable to all but Jehovah’s witnesses.

Be interesting to see if this is a full blown attack with meaning this time rather than the saving face half hearted attached they launched last time

Looks like the Iron Dome is doing a good job of protecting them.

Couple of days later and this looks like it is fizzling out a bit to just nasty and not all out war, Iran I think saving face that assassinations took place on their soil.

Haha, every team has their occasional dog rescue! I remember hearing about this one, 55kg isn't a problem on a stretcher like that but it's a hell of a lot harder if they don't lie down and stay still.

The masks around the stretcher suggests this news is '20/'21, though. I remember those days! Training with covid masks in horizontal rain... funny stuff.

 

Here's our latest dog rescue, 2 years ago now I think:

 

Broken leg, poor old thing. Emotional support dog or whatever the term is for a girl with autism.

Some people ask what the validity of risking human lives is to rescue a dog, and it's a fair question. The specifics vary from case to case of course, but in this particular instance, I would much rather have carried an injured 30kg dog down a mountain at 3pm than two hypothermic humans and a dead dog at 3am.
