Very good info! This is a cause near and dear to my heart, as my little brother was 5 when he drowned. We run a foundation to prevent drowning awareness & water safety.
Thankfully, Jackson is extremely savvy in the water (a total water fool!) and he knows exactly where to go to get out, because he swims all summer long. But I know our JRT mix has fallen in a few times while running around and she has very short legs, and panics. Instead of going towards the steps, she freaks and tries to get out the sides. We're always out there with them so we just go help guide her out but it would be very scary if it happened while she was alone! |
