Drowning risk for dogs

[Catherine]

Water is dangerous. We have a problem with people and animals swimming near hydroelectric generating dams. There can be sudden undercurrents that will pull anyone straight down.  All rivers should be considered dangerous until you talk to someone who knows the river.
I remember you saying you saved a dog from a river. Dogs don't realize that banks can be steep further down from where they went into the water. That dog was lucky that you came along when you did.

I am glad the woman is making something good come from her loss. With her efforts she could save the lives of many dogs. The life jackets are a great idea. Just making people aware of the danger is a big help too.

Every year some dogs die in accidents that could have been prevented. I hope this year people will hear about this and keep their dogs safe from drowning.
