I still get pleading phone calls to evacuate horses. The couple who successfully sued me for depreciation of their 'show' horse because he acquired a scar during my rescue subsequently divorced, and sold Black Beauty for his killer price.

It reminds me of the commercial fishing boat I spent 72 hours without even hot coffee towing back to harbour. They complained about the slip I was manuevering them into. I immediately began taking them back out to sea, until their pleas and a direct order from a irate CO changed my mind.
