Well, as the wife and woman who not only watched my dogs burn to death but also my husband almost lose his life, I will tell you that you need to remind yourself of the area we were in before you spout off your opinion about how "unsafe" or "preventable" this really was. Thanks for your prayers but they don't hold a lot of weight followed by slander. No posted signs, no reason to believe our dogs nor ourselves would be unsafe due to the fact a cold water input is claimed to be in place in multiple backpacking/hotsprings guides. Our lack of protecting our dogs or being responsible dog owners or dog parents shouldn't be questioned. The fact that their is no indication that this was something to fear should be. Land management? Posted signs like every other damn forest service hot springs we paid to visit had, maybe someone else dropped the ball. Continue to point fingers "friends", thank god this tragedy disn't happen to your family. Keep your kids on leashes too if this is your theory in the woods.
