This is a good one. Don't know if your all aware of Young's Park in Paignton, home of the Torbay Model Boat club. Well the missus and I took the dogs for a run and our 9 year old was trying out his new roller blades, towards the end of the evening we stopped by the boating pond as a young lad and his dad were running a RTR jobby and while talking to him, the below pictured wolf we recently acquired was bending over for a drink from the pond and the next thing I knew he was looking up at me from under water.
Screams all around and a quick scoop by the colaar had him back on dry land.
Needless to say, I did not have the camera and he walked around like a wet very embarassed and scared puppy. We've since rang and enrolled him for puppy aquatics.

That reminds me of a little boating trip to our local water, nearly 20 years ago. The below shown scally thought it would be fun to chase the ducks, but when they lifted off to get away, he went right past and launched himself into the lake.....Boy did we laugh, but from then on we had a dog that hated water.....bless him
