I gotta say "hey we saved this dog from the earthquake that's killed a bunch of people" isn't that uplifting......

Some tragic moments can’t be avoided, but it’s also important to highlight the good moments when they come along, however small.

Yeah but it feels tone deaf Like I know this is the "dOgS are SoOoO muCh bEtTer tHaN HumAns" site but thousands of people died. A dog being saved isn't uplifting and sometimes highlight the """good moments""" is not only not actually that important but insulting to the victims of a tragedy.

You assume that it’s that kind of post? Where does it say anywhere that “dogs are better than humans?” You’re just bringing your own assumptions to this thread and treating it as fact.

I never said it was that kind of post???? I was talking about reddit lol. You're accusing me of making assumptions because you didn't read my comment?

I see that you’re very reactionary and convincing you of my point will do little good. Hope you had fun me giving you attention! I got better things to do today and won’t be commenting further.

No one said that. Any life saved is uplifting. Even the average person not on Reddit would find this uplifting. I don't see what your problem is with this story.

A life saved is a life saved human or otherwise. Also , the rescue of that dog will bring some joy and stability to the lives of his/her family in this terrible time.

Yes it's tragic that so many have died, but it's uplifting because a life was saved from that fate.

Would agree if it were like other posts here where the context of bad news is new too, so the overall message of the article is tragic.

But in this case the whole world is already aware of the massive tragedy in Turkey and Syria. That’s presumed context, not what this article is adding to most people, just the rescue of the dog. Which is uplifting.
