Thread: Resued from Aberfeldy River, Toombon

I thought Land Cruisers were ' Toyota Tough ' and could go anywhere........surely he's just parked there doing some fishing

On a serious and sad note, they refused to rescue the two dogs inside the car. Although it's understandable not to put human lives at risk, it's a horrible thought that the dogs are left to perish.
I would be devistated if my dogs were in that situation. It looks like the driver's window is open, I would be pulling the dogs up to the roof with me.

How many warnings must be given NOT to cross flooded rivers

IDIOT

Correct. I beleive the two blokes are not local. There area is closed (good luck with your insurance claim).

There is no way rescue personell should risk their lives for animals. They have done the right thing. The two blokes are lucky they were rescued.

It just beggars belief really.

Whatever happened to " if you can't walk it, don't drive it." Looks like a late model Toyota, inexperienced, made a bad judgement call, hard way to learn. I almost feel sorry for him. I really feel there should be a look at how some 4WD's are portrayed in advertising . Those dogs would have had a better chance swimming. Bob
