Jackson LOVES the pool. He will only get in it if we're outside with him, but just in case we do have a camera inside where we watch the pool (not just for the dogs, but children too). I know all too well that dangers of pools, my 5 year old brother drowned in 2006 and it's obviously affected me terribly. But Jackson loves the water so much, I would never not allow him in it. I also bought him a lifejacket for safety measures although he can swim good without it. We taught him to swim to the stairs when he needs to get out!
