That’s a miracle that dog was able to stay in the water for over an hour.. I know my Chocolate Lab loves the water, but that’s a long time. I bet he gets that crooked tail syndrom for days after that swimming episode..

The animals of this world need as much help as we can give them. Besides killing them of course, please do all you can to help any animal you see in distress.

There was an item on the newswire today where 2 boys drowned on a lake in California yesterday, trying to rescue a dog. This was up by Shasta. One friend swimmed to shore and the dog survived as well. Heartbreaking story.
