Sep 30 2008What?: Man Punches Shark To Save Dog

first?

ohhhhhh that's a big shark!

Wife? I would never have guessed he'd say wife!

punched it in the neck.
doesn't count

aww what a sweet man. my ex had a rat terrier he adopted as a rescue from Katrina :). they're good dogs.

So, now, not only can I not see the video because of the firewall, I can't link to the article on CN f'ing N.com because of the filters... WTF!!!
Where's a shark to punch when you need it?

@3 - What are you talking about?

the Tags on this story are better then the actual story
"A Well Placed Blow to the Nose, Apeshit, Balls of Uranium"

This guy seems kind of gay, but I wouldn't want him to punch me.

Awww. Poor puppy.

Love the post slug of this one.... man_punches_shark_to_save_his.php
He punched a shark to save PHP? Hardcore!

this caption is halarious.

"mine and my wife . . . " whoa, i thought this dude was totally gay.

xSHARKPUNCHx

I just punch sharks for the hell of it.

That guy is still a legend though.

i wonder why he and his wife never had children... duh, he's gay!

Awesome! Hat's off to that guy. Many people don't value their pets so much, this is a good thing to see.

One time a wrestled an Croc, but i'd never have the balls to punch a shark! that guys a beast, or a gay Chuck Norris

Aw how cute! That dog reminds me of...well....Bubba gump himself.

No, it's a fact that he is guy, because any man that would rather save something from getting eaten by a shark, than watching it get ripped to pieces is def. a fudgepacker.

Oh, speaking of which, check out this great website.

I meant "gay"

rat terriers are tasty!

lolz at 00:28

I grabbed him by his shark throat, and I said, "F*** you shark!"
Except I was under... so the water was in my mouth. So it sounded kinda like, "Bubbleuck you shubbleark!"

I told you gay dudes were tough!!
Yo go girl!!!

I know this asshole. He spends all his weekdays looking for sharks and tries to punch them in the BH. This was just a mix up during his daily shark BH abuse.

Punching sharks is for pussies. Real men just dive straight into the water to deliver some ball furies to some shark gonads.

If it was a cat I could understand.

NO MESSIN', BRAH.

And in other news, this dude loves dudes ... and by biblical I mean the way Sigfried loved Roy.

I would have punched the dog for not fighting back.

"You're gonna need a bigger boat."

Kudos to that guy, although Chuck Norris Punches Killer Wales daily for practice.

I like how he calls himself a battering ram, hahaha.

you say anything shitty about this guy, you have no soul. thank you mr person. this dog was worth it. god bless.

hahaha. I love the look he has at 00:29. after "and it sucked him under"

iSN'T THIS A SCENE FROM nEVER bACK dOWN?

Okay, if he really did punch a shark, thats pretty bad ass.

#3 agreed, never would have guessed he would say "wife". Of course by "wife" he could mean "gay over that had a sex change operation". That would totally make sense. This guys is so flaming.

#17 - gay chuck norris = Awesome. LOL

Let the friggin dog loose! I'm sure the dog knows enough to favor the injured leg.

I like miniature Dachshunds, does that make me gay? Or the guy that sleeps with me, does that make me gay? Or that I have sexual relations with the.....guy, does that make me gay? Or that I cheat on him (the guy) with other guys, does that make me gay?

OK, you caught me, I like boobs.....but I can pull off gay pretty good in print.......Hmmm, does that make me gay?

FALCOOOOOOOOOOOOON PUNCH!

Just what people does nowdays to get laid

FAKE!!!!! The shadows are all wrong. It was probly just a fat woman in a cow suit

He f***ed him up like popeye

He happens to be my older brother. I live in Orlando. True my brother and his wife (if you had listened) have no children because she is not his first wife. He and his first wife have 3 beautiful now adult children. Greg is getting over a life changing event who would blame him for getting pitchy and emotional desrcribing a terrible incident? Greg loves all animals and is probably more of a man than most of the men I have ever known in my 41 years on this planet. Greg is 53 years old and handsome enough to have been a former male model which he was on television and in print. Being a carpenter requires strength and skill and he can lift heavier stuff and work longer hours than most guys twice his size. Think what you will, but Greg LeNoir is all man and i am proud he saved Jakes life.

Thats right. I have a rat terrier and I would do anything to save her. This guy is awesome. Who cares what the haters say. He does have ball of uranium.

You know it's funny how people can be so "shallow-minded". I hope Mr. LeNoir did not read all the negative comments made on this site.

You are all just stupid haters with small brains and the only thing you people are capable of doing is writing foolishness because your brains are incapable of anything better.

anyone who believs a person can punch a shark and get away with it is .... um, how to say - stupid.

that dog is so cute, it reminds me of my own. The guy didn't want to just see his dog get eaten by a shark and I'm glad he and the dog are alright. and anyone who talks trash about someone they don't know is just immature and should just be ignored.

When I first saw this I doubted the story big time. Now that I have seen the video interview I'm really impressed that a man or a woman regardless of sexual oreintation would dive off a pier into the water where he just saw a Shark take his dog or cat or any other animal. I know my wofew would expect the same from me if our chihuahua were in the same situation. Note to Self " Never ever allow Bella to go swimming in water where sharks might even remotely be"

Wonder if anybody's told him that land animals don't have a high enough fat content to actually be appealing meals to sharks, and that in nearly every case of shark attacks the shark takes one bite, goes 'wait, this won't do', and spits the creature out anyway.

With its muscle mass, after penetrating the water, it probably didn't even notice the punch.

Makes a cool bragging point though.

stupid shark

The guy so puts his penis in that dog.

This is all wrong. I was there.

The guy was swimming around with raw meat taped to his penis because he wanted a "shark-job". Now that's hardcore. Unfortunately he was also eating a kebab at the same time and the shark went straight for his face (where the tasty kebab was). It swallowed him whole and he screamed like a little girl, only his pink flip-flops were poking out of its mouth. That's when the little rat terrier saved the day by jumping off the pier in a flying two-footed dropkick position. It split the shark right in two and dragged the man back to the shore.

The broken leg was actually from when it kicked down a door to a burning building later that day and saved the family.

FACT

"Inappropriate...comments may be removed. " Too bad they don't enforce that! 90% of the comments posted here are inappropriate. Why do so many of you feel the need to label this guy as gay? Who in their right mind wouldn't try to save their pet? I am embarrassed for all of you to post such rude and hurtful things about another human being...too bad the shark didn't attack YOU.

To those of you who care,
Jake underwent his second surgery for a deep wound that he recieved in the attack. He appears to be o.k. but there are still concerns about infection setting in. This has been a very trying time for my brother as his medical bils are far into the thousands of dollars now. Being in the construction industry during the downturn makes it even more difficult. Thanks for all of your support and positive comments. Our family read the comments on here good and bad and appreciate your concern for Jake. I am also glad Greg was not harmed physically. People sometimes do some incredible acts when facing danger and saving Jake showed how big his heart really is. Jake is popular in the Keys and has brought joy to many lives beyond those of his owners. Thanks again to those of you who said nice things.

Louie, give your brother my best.

This is one of the best stories I have ever heard. I would have done the same thing for one of my dogs.

good job, man
