Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason. Sam Thanks for.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Listening to our breakfast Bonus podcast. We're talking about Shannon Clark.
Shannon Clark's a brave office manager. She works on the
front office for a restaurant at Sydney Harbor. And what
she's there doing, you know, putting the books and things,
not pulling the books. So she's facing excavation. No, she's
doing a little paperwork. She looks out her window and
she sees a tiny little dog circling around in the harbor.
Of the dog and obviously fallen in the water. No

(00:27):
one's diving in there to try and help it. The
owners standing, they're trying to call the dog back.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Owner didn't jump in after their own dog, So Shannon.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Some people can't though, you know, like I think of
my mum and this a sense. I think if my
mum jumped in the harbor, she'd drown.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Okay, she not swim.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Well, it just means what she's wearing, you know, she
was You know, how would your mum go, she would
go rescuing a dog in the harbor?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
I reckon, I'd beck mum to do it. What's your
mum wearing that's going to stop her. Well, I don't
know you.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
She's in a seventies and I'm like, I don't know
if mum would I don't think it would be up
to the dog.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Want to child hope.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Again, it depends what she's wearing.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Sorry, I've got my luber Toms on today.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
It's about the brand.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
It's about sinking to the bottom.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Working for this, this popular restaurant on Sunday's Harbor. So
she stands up, she's wearing jeans, whips her jeans off
and swips down to her hondes and dives in the
water and pretty much King Charles Spaniel saves the dog.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I think that's quite impressive from her saying, because I
really do. I feel like people freeze or they leap
into action at times like that. I would just jump
into the water and then I'd go, oh, I should
have taken my jeans off.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
This is this is where it goes wrong though. You know, Streety,
there's a dog in the harbor. The Streety jumps in
the harbor. She's got a jeans on. She's sinking.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
I ain't going to think I was around jeans. A
few little pups fall into the water. I will save you.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Jason jumps in after Tony. He's particularly buoying for some reason.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
But wow, and.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Then much you Canon has speedos on conveniently already rips
off his shirt. ZACKI Fron styles and dives in and
saves the day, even though I've been propping this person
up for like an hour.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Would you do that? Because apparently why Shannon jumped in here,
And it's because a whole bunch of like work dudes
like traders were standing there just watching, watching the owner
trying and cool the dog out. Toy Lily like King
Charles Spaniel or something couldn't get out of the water.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
And he's a really cute photo of her with the
spaniel and the spaniels was so cute. The dog's name
is Chili.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, which he would have been.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, what I jumped in the harbor? I don't know,
because just based on what's happened in the Olympics, have
all got you know, e Cole and Pinky from diving
into the river here.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
If your answer is I don't know, you ain't jumping,
don't you recon And now I'm never gonna slip in
front of you because I don't recoone.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
No, no, I'm coming after you. I'd definitely trying and
save you.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Okay, just not it's not animals because you hate dogs.
Why all right?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
At that point, I'm sitting up on the top of
the wharf going whose dog is that? Where's the owner
at He's just becoming my responsibility the dog.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
The dog owners trying to call the dog back. Dog's
not coming out. So Shennon jumps off, interrund the times
in front of all these trades who didn't do a thing.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I don't know how old the dog's owner is. If
you're seeing seventy plus, we might forgive you. Yeah, and
if you if you're in your thirties, forties, fifties.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Know, he might like, I'll rescue the dog.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
It'll shit on the wharf. I have to pick that
up as well. It's your dog, it's not my dog.
