    Oh my God... Just watched this woman rescue a dog that fell in the ice at Trout lake!!! I have a little video from it that I will post as soon as I get warm and calm down a bit. What a hero. Community supporter her and got her in a warm bath and called 911.

    How bad does your algorithm need to be to think this is an ad I want to see? Unless it's just paid rage farming? I'm a #NotInOurName Jewish climate solutions activist who is very concerned about Israel and it's role in the world even without fossil fuels. πŸ™ƒπŸ«

    Yeah I don't know her. We actually went back and looked for her van later but they were gone. She seemed to be French Canadian based on her accent. Don't know if she lived here or was passing through. First time I've seen her or her dogs at the park. Glad she was there!
