Photo: Vernon Bryant / Dallas Morning News

The photo above, taken by Vernon Bryant for Dallas Morning News, depicts the bravery of Dallas Fire-Rescue officials warning residents of West Dallas of flooding (and if necessary, rescuing them) when a pump station failed (Source).

It’s the staple stuff of newspapers – local news and such – so if you’re wondering why it’s on this blog, take a closer look at the photo. Go ahead. Don’t see it yet? Take another look. We’ll wait – you’ll get it …

    That's just.....precious. What, is there maybe 4 inches of water?

    Could there be a submerged wall the little guy's running on top of?

    It's a Jesus dog!

    Very rare.
    Nice. Could be an award winning photo.

    LOL @ "Jesus dog"!

    Don't worry guys, those life jackets will save you when the bad bad water tickles your ankles!

    What? They're currently paddling over a shallow area? Is that what's supposed to be so mind-blowing?

    Maybe there's something I'm still not seeing...

    So this is a photo of a "Dream Caused by the Walking of a Dachshund around a Raft a Second Before Awakening"?

    yeah.... those guys are lame.. they should be walking around in that water that is flooding the streets and mixed in with the sewer system..they should be wading around in that stuff all day helping people...

    Bet the next frame shows the paddlers picking the dog out of suddenly deep water.

    The dog balances itself quite well on top of a rescue dolphin.

    hmm, it is a Shaolin trained Dog, maybe a Ninja Dog. Just like those Asian movies where walking on the water surface is possible. Who knows.

    That dog can't swim.

    Nothing out of the ordinary, really. Rescuers paddle on lifeboats simply because they can't see how deep the muddy water is ahead of them. Just happens that the photo was shot in shallow water zone.

    When they run aground and beach the raft on a curbstone, the dog pulls them back into open water.

    Haha, I missed the dog. Hard to see it!

    Maybe it's just faster to paddle all the way rather than having to drag the boat across waters to people whom they don't know how deep the water they are at is.

    Maybe he's water skiing.... somehow alongside the raft.

    guys, can't you see that stick thing that looks like it's that guy's dick, thats poking out? i think thats what alex meant for us to find. haha.

    Jézus what a dog...!

    ...Oh sorry- Won't swear again- But still- that dog must have family ties or he knows something we and those wild-water rafters don't...

    It's called an "oar", berdugo.

    I don't get the big deal over the dog. I was looking closely for something funny or unusual, like Bigfoot in the background. So, they're in fairly shallow water. Big whoop.

    Damn, it's called "amusing". Grow a funny bone folks.

    Good thing they've got those helmets!

    There are obviously 51 boats and dogs under this one.
    the dog does need a helmet.

    So...it would be smarter and much faster if they tried to walk through the standing water, right?

    The dog is smarter than the person who posted this.

    No no, I think Shaun got it with "It’s a Jesus dog!"

    I remember a funny bit on the news when a blizzard hit my area (USA). They said they were reporting from a university upstate when they were clearly filming from across the local college around the corner. I actually suited up and went out; at least they were (@#$# it!) doing it live. I hurried in to create some obstreperous sign but thought better of it.

    Beakman, Please, if you are going to use English, don't have run together sentences, piss poor punctuation, and an arrogant attitude.

    Also, you are not funny. Bit more than pretentious in my opinion.

    Start your own blog so we can ignore you there as well as here.

    Beakman, stfu.

    You really aren't amusing and you are very childish. So you go back to staring at your self in your mirror while you mentally masterbate. You really sound like you have issues with, what you perceive to be, a lack of attention toward you.

    You know, it may seem lame at first glance, but skimming along in a raft is a much faster way to traverse even a few inches of water - remember what it feels like to sludge-sludge-splash-sludge through water? That could get old real fast if you're going door-to-door. Kudos on the raft! :) The doggy knows -- he's wanting to hitch-hike. :)
