How sad that happened to Max.
Dogs who love water don't think about any dangerous currents, and don't think about swimming down to areas where the banks might be too steep to climb out.
Of course, they don't know.
Yes, she has made something positive come out of a tragic accident, and a way to honour Max, by giving out the life jackets. That is an excellent idea.
Sometimes rivers can look quite calm on the surface, but just beneath, there is an undertow. There is a danger in letting dogs swim in rivers.
I had to pull an old lady's dog out once, who couldn't get up a steepish area of the bank, because she had swum too far downstream. Fortunately she was okay, though exhausted.
