  I agree. Although dogs are good swimmers if an accident or fire happened while away from shore the dog would need a safety device as much as anyone else did and there would be no time to put one on after an incident happens. However, for the most part I don't think the coast guard pays much attention, unless they did see your dog driving the boat.
