ian118118 10 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 what i find weird is that it was just those two and there dog. alone. yet somehow before they even found the bodies they said that the dog jumped in the water and straight away the two blokes jumped in after it. yet the blokes died and the dog didnt?? i want to know how they came of the story. just seems abit suspicious to me.
