During swimming lessons this dog needed his master at paws reach. She frequently tried to scramble up her masters lefts for safety but couldn’t quite get to where she wanted to go.
Dropping back into the depths (which were to our knees) our dog raced back to solid ground. Corona definitely didn’t like the idea of seaweed reaching between her claws.
