Would you care if a dog was stuck in a hole?


I was watching the ending of the first Cheetah Girls today, and while I love the ending (in a "cheesefest that I loved five years ago" kind of way), it struck me how ridiculous it is. Yes, kind of a "well, duh" moment, but it never hit me before.

Now, I don't know exactly what would happen, but I live in Queens and visit Manhattan frequently. The idea of that much commotion over a 'dog in a hole' just makes me want to burst out laughing. I mean...dude, it's Manhattan! If I walked by Galleria trying to get Toto out of a hole, I swear I would walk right by to get where I needed to go. Okay, maybe I'd look, but only to stare at Galleria's bright pink track suit, or to see what type of dog it was. Call me jaded, but I would not crowd around a construction site just to see if someone else's dog is okay.

Overall the sense of urgency applied to the situation is freakin' hilarious to me now. No firefighters or officers would freak out that much. And cutting off the power in an entire area of Manhattan?! I might be wrong about this, but if I was a firefighter I'd try to do everything in my power to get around that. Imagine how much money would be lost 'cause of a 'dog in a hole'!

At least they said the news cast was due to finding the cause of the traffic back up, and not just a 'dog in a hole' situation...sorry, I just think that phrase is so funny, lol.

I don't think that many people would care if it was just a hole. I'm watching the movie now, and there are several gas pipes etc. and Toto seems to be stuck pretty far inside that hole.

I'm sure, if this had been real life, the situation would have been under control and taken care of, within a short period of time. But it's a movie, and disney, so you can expect them do drag the situation out and blow it up.

That tragedy was an excuse to bring the girls back together to help Galleria. They had a fight, regardless, still deeply cared for her and the dog. I guess the message is that friends always stick together, or something like that.
