I'm not 100% sure the Orcas weren't playing around. Seems they had ample chance to catch either the man or the dog if they were intent on having a land based snack.

What kind of a douche bag lets hit dog go in the water with two killer wales. These goddam kids think nature is all fluffy and "green"; right up the minute they have their leg bitten off at the knee.

They're called killer whales for a reason. There's one that killed at least two of its trainers. Guess it didn't want to be trained.

They were playing. Orcas can hit 30 MPH or a bit more for a short time. If they wanted to have the fur and snorkel special,
it was theirs for the picking. As of yet, there is STILL not a documented case of an Orca intentionally attacking a human being with intent to harm. Incidents have happened but it's always been a matter of Orcas playing with humans and not being aware of the limitations of humans. The assume we're tougher than we are. If Orcas have eaten people, they've done it where there were no witnesses. CJ |

They were probably just curious. Not only are they fast and smart, they can and will beach themselves to get food. There is amazing footage of orcas beaching themselves to get seals. If it wanted that dog, that dog would have been done in one bite. That said I wouldn't have let my dog stay out there.

The very fact that the doggie wasn't lunch, tells me that the whale was just curious. I don't think it was "playing", or there would have been more physical interaction with the dog. Just my (completely uninformed) opinion. |

Heh, typical dog reaction. "Oh hell no, I'm gonna swim back out there and bark at you some more!"
Reminds me of a video I saw where some dudes were shark fishing. They got one on the line so the dog promptly jumped out of the boat, grabbed it, than swam it to shore. |

Orca is smart and probably trying to figure out if it wanted to eat them. Now a Great White would see the diver in a wetsuit as a fat juicy sea lion and munch away.

Except different populations of orca tend to eat different things, so perhaps these aren't seal killers. While anything is possible, and I sure as shit wouldn't want me or my dog in the water with them, but I'd bet that orcas that had never seen a seal before would be unlikely to eat it right out of the gate. |

Only certain pods of Orcas will eat mammals at all, and they general stick to seals.
Of course if I had something with that many sharp pointy teeth "playing" with me while I was diving I would be worried too. |

No freaking way I'd let my dog in the water. Although, it's tough to keep water dogs out of the water when they want to be in there. My golden went into the ocean and dragged out a big ass fish
. I have no clue how he caught it, but damn was he proud of himself once he got it to shore. When we released the fish, my dog swam way out in the water looking for it. I mean way out there. Far enough that it made me really nervous.

In among the memorabilia my stepdad had from his days as a cook on a fishing boat up in Alaska, there's a sequence of shots taken with an old Kodak camera. Starts off with polar bear and two cubs out swimming in the middle of nowhere, no land in sight. Shortly after, they spotted a pod of killer whales who come up on the scene, and there's this scene of chaos and confusion in the water. Next picture shows a killer whale with a polar bear clamped on it's back near the blowhole, and the bear is steadily gnawing on the whale, claws dug in to the sides. The whale spends the next fifteen minutes in a panic-stricken attempt to get the bear off its back, sounding and diving like a maniac. Doesn't work––The rest of the pod circles, looking on like they're laughing. Eventually, the whale just runs out of energy, and floats at the surface of the water, bleeding from some rather massive wounds. The bear lets go, and continues swimming off into the distance, after collecting her cubs. The whale feebly swam off with its pod, bleeding profusely.
There was a set of about fifteen-twenty shots that he had, which I remember being shown as a kid. Never could find the damn things after he died, but whenever someone brings up polar bears or killer whales, I remember them... |

Yes, we were watching him swim back and forth in the surf like he was after something, then the next thing we knew, he drug this fish to shore. I have no clue what kind of fish it was, but damn was he proud of it. He just stood there barking until we all came to see what he had. Other than being a little beat up, the fish was perfectly healty, so we put it back. Sadly, we lost the dog about 4 years ago  He did cool shit like this his entire life.

Orcas can take out a GW shark without much trouble.
Imagine if that were a JRT. JRT jumps on the back of Orca. Now comes SHTF! (Remember USS Alabama? JRT takes over submarine? We were lucky with that one!) |
