Man saves dog in shark attack. Really.
You want to read about a devoted pet owner? The Associated Press has a story of extremes:
ISLAMORADA, Fla. — A dog is recovering after a Florida Keys carpenter dove in to save his pet from a shark.
Greg LeNoir said he took his 14-pound rat terrier Jake for his daily swim at a marina Friday.
The five-foot shark suddenly surfaced and grabbed nearly the entire dog in its mouth.
LeNoir said he yelled, then balled up his fists and dove headfirst into the water. He hit the shark in the back and the creature finally let go of the dog.
Man and dog made it safely back to shore. The dog suffered bite wounds but was not critically injured.

Now THAT is love!! I would have gone in and fought off the shark for my girl also...Mine is only 11 lbs, but I wouldn't be able to forgive myself, if I didn't do anything...
