I;ve always loved animals.. as a kid, i used to feel bad for every homeless animal in the world when there was a thunder storm..
So seeing the guys pick up the little "lost" dog was really heart warming.. but what happened to it? Clearly the dog did not go on the chase with them.. so where is it?
Was it just a little thing thrown in there by the editors? The dog was abnormally friendly and WAY too well behaved in the vehicle.. So maybe it wasn't a lost dog..
I'm just wondering, if it WAS a real lost dog that they scooped up, what do you think happened to it?
We too would like to know about the puppy's fate. We were extremely disappointed in the doctor's irrational response to the 15 second announcement about the puppy at the end of his conference. It was a small effort to find the animal a home...what a jerk!!!!

You do realize this is exactly what the producers were after when they started tampering with the show. They want to get us all worked up and talking about the drama as to suck in other people.

Second I'm a fans of this show and so i was watching it and i saw the "lost dog" and what happen at the end where "team tiv" was being so nice and someone ask if anyone have any more announcement " and the he told about the dogs " and everyone laugh but what got me is when the " scientist" put him in his place and as he was walking out "nerd girl" rub it in and made a dumb comment anyway "team tiv and twistex" you rock

Well, first and foremost- this was a multimillion dollar scientific project, with extensive media & professional involvement, and not some kind of hippie hugfest.
There is a time and place for that sort of behavior; in the middle of a conference (one that Sean waltzed into late, I might add) is NOT it.
Now, Sean could have sidelined people afterwards in the parking lot or something and tried to peddle the dog. But in the middle of Dr. Wurman's presentation? Absolutely not! Sean just looked like a first class goofball- very unprofessional, indeed. No wonder no one takes him seriously...
Listen, I like everyone on the show, Josh, Sean, Reed, etc.
What I am not liking is the way Discovery is producing the show this year. They are the ones that are acting like the real goofballs. They have lost the plot.
Last year, there was plenty of conflict just in Josh's team alone... not to mention everyone else. But those conflicts mostly revolved around reasonable disagreements about strategy or weather science.
This year it is about lost puppies, "dominator,dominator,dominator" and "get out of the car."
Jeez, give me break and lose all these BS fluff distractions Discovery Producers, I am amazed that Josh, Sean, Reed, and everyone else have not sued you for making them all look like wack jobs.
I'm from a rural area like the one where the dog showed up. We didn't have to tie up or cage our dog. He wandered around. If that part of the story was legit, Sean picked up someone's dog.
Also, he lied to the group about it. He said it had been orphaned by the tornado, but there wasn't any tornado that day. His "announcement" was another ploy for Sean to get attention for himself. His is narcissistic..
Funny you mention that word. Even when you look at Dr. Wurman you see it. His drive to do his science is rooted in the same thing. When he talks about saving people's lives its just icing on the cake. He is mostly concerned about his career for his name's sake and personal sense of power, that's why he's so bothered when the spotlight shifts to others.
You could see the same narcissistic bent on all the faces of the phony's sitting in his meeting. Did you all see the irony of what happened? Supposedly a victim of a storm, a dog, was brought into the meeting that was the start of a project that is supposedly motivated by saving lives from dangerous storms- and the crowd was appalled at such a distraction. They are all muppets, out for kicks like like Timmer, but at least Reed is honest about it.
Speaking of Reed...Why in the world hasn't Sean teamed up with him? Reed seems to consistently be the first one to the scene of all the tornadoes. Spend a few days with him, Sean, and you can finish up your film. Two tornado intercept vehicles would make a sweet little convoy.
Hmmm ive thought about why he hasn't done that what Sean did showed a lot of issues with Josh and his ego. It's never going to be like it was last season alliences are changing Reed and Joel aren't even chasing togethor anymore.Sean and Josh are going in two differnt directions. now

Bluntly put, Dr. Wurman wasn't there to pander to an audience. Remember, Sean was there for no other purpose than to make a freaking FILM, and lord only knows why Timmer was there (for the kicks and cash from video footage, I guess- certainly not for the science aspect, PhD candidate or not).
Dr. Wurman correctly called their number in advance; they are a liability, not an asset, and he was well within his rights as leader of the project to make sure they either toe the line or GTFO. Sean's film and Reed's adrenalin hijinks are not his concern- nor should they be IMO.
As for those "phonies"- they were his students, along with other meteorological professionals (aka scientists). If I were one of those people in attendance, I would likely be irate at the interruption (not to mention the waste of my valuable time). They have stuff to do, and pandering to the Discovery audience isn't part of the package.

Because there can't be two captains on the same ship. Putting those two together would be an even worse disaster than Paul Watson (AKA Cap'n Crunch) and his gaggle of vegan weenies on Whale Wars, lol.
Reed is becoming more scientific then he was last year. That radar that he has now could cause issues for Josh. There will be issues this year you have like 5 group's fighting over storm's now. Josh will get angry he has a massive team but he is in competition with Reed and the other's. Over tornado's so this will get very intresting
What I am not liking is the way Discovery is producing the show this year. They are the ones that are acting like the real goofballs. They have lost the plot.
Well of course the lost the plot, they put a Bon Jovi Song "Blaze of Glory." as the main title.
I agree, Dr. Wurman is not out to "pander" to any audience, he is his own audience; he panders to his ego and pride.
I don't care who the phonies are. They are walking contradictions to their own cause. "not to mention the waste of my valuable time" Thanks for helping prove my point. It's silly to hide selfishness behind the veil of science.
Sean and Reed would get along just fine. All Sean wants is his footage, he needs a leader. If he didn't, then why does he employ competent chasers to guide him?
Josh is after data Reed is now after Data Sean is after film. Joshes massive crew will cause more harm then good there will be confusion because of the number of people he has. 12 million dollar's down the drain is what it sound's like to me.

Yes look at Dr. Wurman so professional. Tell me who shows up to a big presentation looking like that???? If that was actually a big presentation that meant something I suspect the man conducting it should be dressed a little . I’m a businessman and that’s not how you arrive to a meeting concerning the use of 12 million dollars no matter who you are.

Hey man...think about it. Our government is broke after giving all of the huge banks a trillion bucks or whatever. Where the he!! did the money come from for a 12 mill funded research project. Is that the stimulouos money going to a shovel-ready project?
Well of course the lost the plot, they put a Bon Jovi Song "Blaze of Glory." as the main title.
Plus, episode 3 wouldn't have made it past the cutting room floor in Season 1 & 2. There was not much chasing. It was 95% interpersonal drama and 5% chasing. But, that's clearly the angle Discovery is trying to take the show. They're using the chasing / storms as a catalyst to the interpersonal drama (the real focus).
They should change the name of the show to MTV Real World: Stormchasers and have them all live in one big house together.
ksfamgirl, I agree that it is not appropriate to mention a lost dog in the middle of a important meeting, but sean mentioned it at the end of the meeting, after josh asked if anyone else had business and no one did. Also I've been in many large meetings involving millions of dollars and have never seen people dressed the way josh was, if youre going to call one person unprofessional you better look at the other one also.
Also I think the main problem is that it wasnt a very active season this year so theres not a lot to put in the show.
I think another issue between josh and sean is the fact that they have chased for so long together with minimal results. Seans tiv had instruments on it for josh and josh got his data but sean never got his shot. I'm sure there is pressure on sean to get his shot to justify grants and people sponsering him. I respect josh higly as a scientist, and have followed his work for about 5 years now, and I have noticed that more well known he gets the more arrogant he gets, but as with a lot of scientists they dont always have people skills. After last seasons epic fail for sean Im sure he's feeling some pressure also.

1) Sean apparently hates Reeds guts... if you buy what the show seems to want us to believe.
2) Could Sean keep up with Reed?? That is problematic, especially considering the TIV's maintaince histories.
3) Reed might get Sean near a vortex. But Reed has no means (real time radar) of assuring Sean that he would have a chance of driving into and then out of one without a small detour to the hospital or the marble orchard. TIV 1 was rated at 120 mph windspeeds, TIV 2 rated at 150. TIV 2 makes EF3 -a stretch, EF4 -hospital or death, EF5 -kiss your butt goodbye.
Was that whole puppy thing just a contrived metaphor?
I mean think about it, Sean has been acting like a lost puppy in the first 3 episodes. Then Sean and everyone shows up at the Vortex2 meeting like lost puppys... with pictures of a lost puppy.
I am seeing a pattern, and I am thinking that I have finally figured out the Producers evil little plan.
I think it was nice to care about an innocent animal and to try and do the right thing! Sean did absolutely nothing wrong making a short announcement like that! Good job Sean!
