I bet the pet sitter really appreciated having their name in the article. Like, who is gonna leave a dog with them now?

What the owner did - going into the icy pond - was foolish, but I bet a lot of pet owners would at least try to do the same thing.

Foolish just due to the danger to himself?

There's no chance in hell I'd ever be able to live with myself if I didn't go in after my dog. And I know on paper that's the wrong move...but I personally probably wouldn't last more than a month if I just watched as my dog drowned and didn't do anything I could to save her...I'd be racked with overwhelming guilt.
