Poor dog.
Right? Do all the stupid reckless shit you want to yourself, but leave the poor animal out of it.
If the guy doesn’t come back, I assume that the dog dies of thirst at the house.
Might be that going under in rapids is a better way to go.
Generally people don’t leave their dogs at home alone with enough food and water to last until they get back. I mean, this idiot might, but most other people either board their dog, get someone to keep the dog while you’re gone, or get a house sitter.
Cats on the other hand…here’s a massive bowl of whatever pellets and I filled the tub with water. Don’t eat the plants and stop flicking your turds on the floor. I’ll be back in a week.
That’s because cats are smart and dogs are dumb. Dogs would eat all of the food at once and then puke it up and then eat the puke.
But I’m still a dog person.
Dumb dogs.
There’s good evidence that cats are the only self-domesticated animal we have. Coupled with the very strong evidence that stupidity, complacency and obedience were the traits selected for in man-directed domestication efforts, it’s no surprise that cats are both more willful and more clever than most other domestic animals.
They can still be an enormous pain in the ass, just in different ways than dogs, so pick your poison. Cats, for me.
There is some evidence that dogs self-domesticated, at least to a certain degree, although they’re also some evidence that they were domesticated as food, so who knows? Stefan Milo did a recent video on the subject.
Yup. We have an auto litter box and feeder. I just get someone to stop in mid week to check on things.
I hope the dog made it.

It looks like the sort of thing you’d see someone build in a movie about escaping a desert island.
Didn’t Mythbusters do it on a duct tape raft?
I didn’t watch much Mythbusters, but it sounds like something they would do.
They made a raft for floating. White water needs a bit more rigidity.
Duct tape canyon. https://www.discovery.com/shows/mythbusters/episodes/duct-tape-canyon
Edit to add
brave Class 5 rapids, all with duct tape and bubble wrap
Barely fit to be called a paddleboard.
I don’t know why you are so bummed, man, but if my dog made a homemade raft I would be impressed.
Damn. Fuckin’ dark, but damn.
Ah hell nah someone took the Stockton Rush approach
