Nephew and I took a canoe out on a lake. As we approached the middle of the lake we realized my dog was paddling along behind us. I had heard of dogs swimming until they got so tired they drowned so we quickly took the canoe back to the nearest shore. The dog huffing and puffing right behind. As we approached the shore she ran up out of the water and up and down the shore. Not a bit tired. The next time out we put her in the canoe before we paddled out.
