HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2022
- Dean Potter was an innovator and legend in all three extreme sports for which he held numerous world records. His untimely passing, which occurred on May 17, 2015, made headlines across major news outlets around the world, a testament to the impact he had in the world of sport and beyond. Known for his bold innovations in climbing, line-walking and flight, Potter has spent much of the past two decades in front of the camera. Always fascinated by the boundaries between life and death, When Dogs Fly traces Potter's inspiration to BASE-jump in a wingsuit with his mini four-legged dog Whisper. With decades of experience in nature's most dangerous arts, Potter wanted to share his love of life and aviation with his lifelong companion. With small goggles over his eyes, a protective sleeve around his ears, and safely at his master's side, Whisper becomes the first-ever flying dog in a wingsuit. When Dogs Fly is a testament to the beauty of Potter's spirit, his devotion to his craft, and his relationship with his family and his lifelong companion, Whisper.

Didn't know Dean, but he was an amazing person, someone who for whatever reason I connect with everytime I'm on a climb and in nature. It's obvious he loved his life and those around him. Thank you Dean, Keep climbing and flying my friend.
No can do…
I did in fact know Dean personally as he was a customer where I worked in Yosemite. He never mentioned his accomplishments to me, and I did not know of his fame until a co-worker told me about it. We talked most of music and dogs, his blue heeler, Whisper, right by his side all the time. I guarantee he was ok with his death because he was just that way. Pragmatic, reasonably happy, but motivated to do these incredible things he did. RIP my friend.
Thanks Dean… your memory lives on❤❤❤
Good ol Dean. Miss you buddy.
So beautiful to see this friendship, two humans and a dog❤️🐾🐾 RIP Dean 🙏☁️🦋you were such a good dog daddy❤️❤️❤️ Whisper loves you🐾❤️
Rest In Peace Dean. What he did with his crafts still inspires
Poor dog
You fund / support / endorse factory farming...
Whisper had a great life and was loved by Dean, myself, and anyone else who came in contact with her.
This is beautiful ❤ we miss you D
That dog lived an amazing life.
Rest in Peace Dean and Graham. Sincere condolences to their families and friends.
For the record, Whisper the Dog was not on the flight in which Dean Potter passed.
I bet she was heartbroken. But dogs set an example to all of us on moving on with dignity and love.
Happiest dog ever. ❤
I understand why he did this, and I'm happy he did it. He followed a burning desire to do this stuff. I would do it too.
And his commentary was crazily self-aware.
his commentarty was corny at multiple times
Been in the climbing industry since 2005, this man has always been an inspiring soul. I don’t agree with the activity choices he made and will forever be sad knowing he’s no longer here. RIP Dean
RIP Dean...

The people who say this is cruel clearly don't own a dog that they love very much
The people who claim "this is cruel" are also corpse munching hypocrites destroying our only home #carnistlogic
Amazing One.
Now he’s on the wall of photos
She freaks out so hard after they land just like all the other base jumpers do she’s so stoked. Rip
I’d just like to acknowledge how dogs take anything their human companions suggest as totally normal.
I couldn't even finish watching this. To think that it was okay to subject his dog to that kind of danger makes my blood boil. Now I see through the comments that he died during one of these flights. I couldn't find a definitive answer on whether Whisper, who had no choice on these flights, didn't have to pay the ultimate price with him. I truly hope that she did not.
A comment by Nancy Hanson says the dog wasnt with him.
This short film was about how he came to the decision that saved his dog’s life.
Whisper is alive, to this day 2023. I actually nanny for Jen ( deans former girlfriend) and whisper is alive, she’s old and going blind but man did she live such a life!
Live Vegan :)
the dog is alive.....watch the entire documentary btw....
You are a very good videographer.😇❤
Rest in peace 🙏♥️
This dog has confidence 🤠 in her master.My dog would refuse.
And, watching the vídeo, you can see the dos enjoys the ride!
Now that's a DAWG
I can't decide if this is amazing or cruel.
CRUEL!
First time cruel second time loving life also they love the dog inside out the dog lucky to have such great owners respect ✊
Do you eat animals? (aka support animal abuse) That might help you decide.
amazing. The dog is not afraid at all and the owner love and respect her
I knew Dean and Whisper personally. Whisper was happy with and trusted Dean, but was very wary of strangers. There was no cruelty involved whatsoever. Just love between those 2. When people leave their dogs at home, do the dogs wish they could go with you or wish that you leave them alone? They always want to go. Whisper was the same.
Selfish is the word your looking for friend. It's only a matter of time as simple math with pertain. The joy is making that decision on your own and prayers to you.
Ultimo doggo
"She actually goes to sleep occasionally".
Yeah. Being tigbtly strapped into a "rig" that restricts her breathing and circulation can make a dog "fall asleep".
Of course there is more than one reason animals close their eyes than simply being asleep.
Hola ✋ soy de Argentina 🇦🇷,me gustaría que subtitule los videos de esta hermosa página al español gracias espero que me vean y lean mí mensajes, chau a la distancia 👋
Argenpobre
Luckily for the dog, it was not *conscripted* by Dean Potter on his final flight. *Or he too would be resting in pieces* 😄
_(It's one thing to decide to throw your life away, but WHY take an innocent dog along?)_
You literally eat animals...
Admired Dean but would never entrust him with a puppy
People really do the dumbest shit and then get praise for it.
Why’s everyone like rip?
he died in 2015 doing wingsuit with a friend.
There are some cold people in these comments...
Legends never die, you’ll always be a huge inspiration Dean ✨
last thing i want to watch is someone clipping thier jacked up toes and flossing the same
Poor dog…. 🤦🏽♀️
Yeah, at first you can think “Poor dog”. But at the end you think “so lucky”.
U r
Weird dude, I like people like this. This is American as it comes. My life my business if I die tomorrow.
And when “your business” traumatises others that is ok is it?
@@spaceducky101 yes
@@spaceducky101 Sure hope you're vegan :)
@@spaceducky101 still not his business.

El perro temblaba del miedo :(
Nope. The dog visibly enjoyed the ride.
@@LisiasToledo no
@@SrFrostPvP Yes
o de frío?
the dog enjoyed it
Highline base jumping is illegal in Yosemite. He broke the law and paid the price. There's a reason why it's illegal. He and his friend tried flying through a tricky notch but failed. No parachutes was deployed.
Yeah, tough shit. He knew the risks and I am unmoved.
@@legion999 glamorizing stupid risks with pets is a dick move...
Издеваетесь над пёселем ..
🤕🤕🤔
It was disgustingly selfish of him to subject his dog to the high risks involved. SOB.
Stick to making vids on clipping your toenails and teeth flossing. Dog doesn't understand,be happier chasing squirrels.
The second he endangers his sweet dog is the second I‘m bailing. I actually already know the story, but seeing him do this to his dog is infuriating and sickening. That is a completely selfish choice and is the same as taking a baby with him because they have absolutely no say in the matter. If you want to endanger yourself, have at it, who gives a crap. But when you do that to an innocent animal, you’re just a complete POS.
So, why do you eat animals? / support animal abuse? That is anything but supporting autonomy. It's pure hypocrisy.
Those were not black birds, those were crows also named ravens.
What if the dog falls from the pack? Well, probably she's not gonna fly.
You want the dog not to fall? Leave it at home. It's a dog, not a bird.

Seriously:
This is a fine piece of art, because thoughts and images of high level risk athlete are portrayed in the most direct manner.
Sometimes he resembles me to Antoine Saint Exupery, he was also so candid and naif; and at the same time courageous to the extreme.
However, to my point of view, and also as Exupery did; sometimes he goes too far in his insight voyage, despising everyday/regular world; which should be the frame of any healthy human experience.
High level risk athletes, as Potter was, should be given not only money and sports goods; but also psychological support.
Living constantly near death experiences not only drives anyone to PTSD, but also to become a kind misfit unable to understand and appreciate fundamental life issues like money, home, relations...
But he addresses all that.
Crows and Ravens aren't the same bird. Also he's not calling them Blackbirds, but black birds. Birds that are black. ;)
