May you find peace in your passing, you died trying to save your dog.
This seems to be happening a lot lately, a 4 year old girl and 2 teenagers also died in a similar way this week 😢
At least this was someone being brave and giving it all to save their do, rest in peace
tragic.
Cold blooded 🥶
How heartbrakeing… lam so sorry for the family for their loss… l pray that they can find some healing and that she will be recoverd so that they all can find some peace again…. l wish you all the help and blessings you can get…. what a tragic loss… she was a hero …
Sad by its time to wait for spring to find her.
Leash your dogs people.
So sad 😢
I must watch too much ID because this just seems fishy af🥴
This is tragic. I just read the husband’s entire statement. Wow. May angels surround you all and the spirit and love of your beloved wife, mother, daughter, friend, coworker, advocate, caretaker and of course dogmom etc etc live on in all who loved her. ❤
Wait the husband didn’t jump after the wife ? 🤣 guess she loved the dog more than he loved her
Brave woman for sure.
so the dog was not on the leash?
so sad over a f’ing dog…………………………………………..like you think you would think about your kids before going in a ice river already being out in the snow knowing you could freeze when you get out…………makes no sense…rip wish you were still here
Dead. Mandy
Wow lost her life and her family lost a mother/wife because of a dog.. congrats. Get a Cat people less problems
😞 I’m sad for the family. ❤️ Stay strong and love each other.
People, stay away from “frozen” rivers and lakes. Too many deaths happen like this.
When your dog’s life is more precious than yours.No common sense.
Literally nothing she could have done for the dog. Empty nest syndrome got another one
Ok I’m sorry but it’s so tasteless and tone-deaf to have that stupid bumper at the end of every video. I get that this is Youtube, but “This is a tragic story… *be sure to subscribe and like for more* because we like internet fame” is so gross to me
Bless this poor woman and her grieving family 😢😢❤
I would hope I could be so brave.
Well, that was stupid of her.
Her baby fell in so she went after him.
Sad ! That us why, as Special Forces, you are supposed to train, know terrain, have b/c plans…
☝️🙏🕊️✝️
What a stupid way to die.
As long as you are alive, then you can most probably buy another dog.
A dog’s life is not worth dying for.
Just tragic all around, I know if it came down to it, I wouldn’t hesitate to try and rescue my dog or any loved 1 for that matter. The only thing that makes this worse is it was never a rescue attempt to start with, a sad recovery at best. My condolences to the friends and family of both of them.
And the dog??? Is it alive???? Can you properly report the news…as if its your JOB
Did she save the dog? The ice gets very dangerous this time of year. Seems like someone in Alaska would know that and keep an eye on the dogs. Shows how one bad decision can set in motion a very tragic outcome.
Yeah she is dead
When you’re a Mother of four children, don’t jump in to rescue a pet. Learn from this. 🤦🏽♀️
Jumped in for a dog? LOL good bye dog
This is too sad and tragic. Bless her family, and may she be resting in peace. 😢
weird pronunciation change each time the word “mother” comes on kinda weird from audience side
So terribly sad…😢
Husband not sus?
So very sad🥀
did they find her ? idont trust the mainstream media to tell the truth
So thats how you get away with murder , go on a hike
She got eaten by a shark
You shouldn’t try and save a drowning human let alone a stupid dog.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Congrats.
God bless
😢
Wow SHE jumped in not the husband? Sounds fishy to me
My heart goes out to her family. So sad to hear about this.
God bless her,her dog and her family.
Never ever jump into an icy mass of water to rescue a dog, it’s not worth the risk of your family losing a mother, daughter, wife or father, son or husband. It’s just a dog, nothing special…in parts of the world they’re a menu item with noodles, only Westerners have this misguided thinking that dogs are special!
Over the years I’ve lost count of the number of times dog owners died jumping in after their dog, only to find the dog got out under its own power later…this family has now lost an important wonderful human being, that’ll be missed forever, all over a dog that can be replaced.
I honestly hope she believed in Jesus because trying to work this through my mind about what she did to her human family over an animal makes ZERO sense. It really puts into perspective how people think more about animals than they think about human beings or human life. Grab something and throw it to the animal and drag it out you don’t jump into a frozen river fully dressed if you have any kind of common sense ESPECIALLY living where she does.
We’re not here for animals, we’re here for humans and if you put an animals life above a human life than I think there are a lot of things in your life that need to be seriously looked at.
My heart really goes out to this woman’s family who have to live the rest of their lives knowing that a dog took their mother’s life. I’m really sorry everyone I can’t look at it any other way, a dog would not replace a mother in any way, shape or form. The only way this could have been worse is if the dog survived and she didn’t.
You are the wife and mother of four children, you DO NOT JUMP INTO A FROZEN RIVER TO SAVE A DOG! Losing a family pet is sad but losi;g another is DEVASTATING to the children! Your family is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DOG.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Prayers so sorry 😢
So so sad!
This sounds crazy sus….
A dumb dog is never worth losing your life over. Sorry pet lovers but it’s not.
💔 for family 🇿🇦
Woman does not fall under a river!!! She fell in the river through the ICE!
Riiiight…Okaaay.🍿🤔
How sad and horrible
My heartfelt condolences to her family, friends and colleagues. A tragic accident, her family needs prayer, comfort, and support at this extremely difficult time. 💞🙏🏻
A leash and they are both still alive.
Irresponsible dog owners make un limited excuses for endangering their dogs. Don’t deserve to have dogs.
I think she’s fish food next spring.
Fell under frozen river?
Wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, grand daughter, sister, sibling, daughter in law, niece. Come on, we can surely find some more labels in an attempt to embellish her importance.
wow election interference. Where is the fight back Republicans. The slaves in few of the southern states but not all of them was outlawed by Potus Abraham Lincoln. But the north still had their slaves. Learn your history.
Once your under the ice you can quickly lose track of where you are. Very sad
Fur animal was not worth her life prayers to her family’s
Yep. Idiots and their pets!
Bless her loving heart. I fear I’d do the same if my dog fell in.
If it was an native Alaskan woman it wouldn’t make the news 😢
Condolences to the family
Condolences 🙏
This is the account given by the husband, right? I seriously doubt that anyone would just “jump in.” That doesn’t make sense to me.
One of my colleagues lost her son to a drowning when his dog got sucked into a whirlpool and he jumped in trying to save his beloved pet. It happens and makes sense to anyone who acts on instinct and adrenaline, like people running into a burning building. I’m sure the police will investigate to rule out anything you are hinting at which is standard procedure. A real tragedy for the family.
that because your a gutless person ,
I used to live in the frozen north. People in similar circumstances to this account go to the edge of the ice, lie facedown, and try to feel for the missing person or pet. They don’t go straight to jumping in in real life. Not saying they wouldn’t end up going into the water, but not immediately. So, the story still stinks to me. BTW, I have had plenty of experience as a first responder on many, many homicide scenes. Will the police do a due diligence investigation? Maybe.

Sad
I would have done the same as her. Dogs are part of the family and it’s like saving a family member. If people think it’s stupid to even TRY to save a dog, you’ve never loved a pet in your life. Or you’re just heartless.
So, I’m gonna throw this in for those of you who are all worked up about “should she have or not”: Who besides the husband was there with her? Is this his account? Is there anyone else to verify that what is being reported, actually took place. Just Good ‘Ol Hubbsies and the remaining dog ?? Hmmm🤔……and how long had they been married? ….. another hmmm. And why this specific location, with the not-completely-frozen water? Wonder what the life insurance payout is and if there’s a secret girl or man friend 😮 Yikesies
and what was your location at the time of the incident , when you point the finger remember there are 3 pointing back at you ! i have notifyed the police about you Lealie ! i smell a smelly rat !
If you fall through the ice in a LAKE, you stand a chance of being rescued (Provided you’re with someone, or damned knowledgeable about recovering from being soaked in below-freezing temps).
If you fall through a RIVER, unless your companions instantly anchor and pull you out, there is no hope of survival. To throw away her life for a Dog, leaving behind a husband and children? That is the tragedy.
Yes, its mindblowing that she threw her life away for this dog. Her family needed her for a lifetime more than some animal who only lives for a few years anyway.
A child I can understand but a dog? You had a husband and four sons, this is just so sad.
She Dead
Um, how does one fall “under” a river?
Praying for her family 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
How sadddddd
How do you fall under a river?
I love my dog but cmon.
Dogs generally can get themselves out of natural situations like this themselves. Thats why often ppl attempting to save their drowning dog end up drowning while the dog escapes.
Imagine dying for a dog… feel sorry for the kids and family
Repent to Jesus Christ ”He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.“
Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV

Prayers for her family.
I wonder if this is foul play because if her husband was with her, what did he do to try and help her or stop her from diving after her dog? Sounds a little fishy to me.
For anyone who has not had extensive experience living, being in the bush (wild) in extremely cold conditions, it is impossible to describe the neary unspeakable difficulty of this type of rescue. Certainly one of the most very difficult types there is. To her 4 kids l say; never forget how much your mom loved you. And try to be brave and not too sad. Some day you will all be together again…
So sad. Not a great way to pass away. May she rest in peace with her dog in heaven.
And what did husband do? Just stayed and watched how his wife was jumping to a river?? Something does not add up. She had 4 kids,I don’t believe that she just jump after a dog.
Don’t walk on or let your dogs walk on frozen body’s of water like rivers cus they are constantly moving. Sad story but hopefully the lesson will save someone in the future, what a terrible Circumstance I couldn’t imagine being her husband and witnessing that.
God what a scary way to go.
River under ice is like a frozen tube shoot…
So very sorry for the family.
Jumped in, current took her under the ice, dead within minutes. Stay away from icey rivers and streams.
Im sorry but the dogs life or me, its me. .
Those who arewilling to give their lives for the ones they love deserve to be honored and remembered.
