Up until now I had always imagined an open slurry pit with 20ft of slurry inside and that they must have been dragged under. I thought that it was very odd for people used to being on a farm to enter one to save a dog. It all makes much more sense now, because I'm not sure I would have immediately thought about how toxic and dangerous the fumes would be inside a tank. With just 4ft of slurry inside I imagine Graham figured it'd be no trouble to rescue the dog, and once he fell inside his father and Nivin would of course risk their lives to save Graham.

There are so many dangers on a farm, but maybe a few basic safety features should be made mandatory to prevent things like this. A gas mask and safety ring next to a slurry tank/pit wouldn't cost much and could save lives. The farmers I know are unlikely to implement safety features like this themselves, but maybe the government/s should intervene.

Tragic.

To be honest though - if my dog was in danger of death, I wouldn't hesitate. I suppose only people who have dogs would understand, but I wouldn't think twice, as stupid as it may be. I just couldn't walk away knowing my dog was suffering.

Anyways, such a sad story. You have to feel for the mum and sister.
