Uh yeah. A lot drowned during Katrina.

Nope. My Shih Tzu fell in the lake at 1 month and was fine.

Yep. I've heard of it.

Those kids of dogs, absolutely. They're basically cats.

No, they have gills.

Yep. I had a puppy drown in our pool when I was 10. I found him before school and my parents made me go anyways. Thank's for reminding me of that little nugget, BTW.

Exgirlfriends patents had a Scottish terrier drown in their pool. Apparently they aren't swimmers.

That's not a dog, that's a punchline with fur.

Webbed feet really helps.

I don't think bulldogs can swim

Had a Golden Retriever when I was a kid. Ran off the end of a pier jumping into the water. Sat their struggling for a moment and started to go down. My dad eventually jumped in and saved it.

Never seen it with my own eyes but I'm pretty sure it's possible if they don't have webbed feet, being that's what helps them swim.

Wasn't this one of the methods used to kill dogs at Mike Vick's?

Bulldogs, dachshunds, and pugs do horribly in water because of their short legs and non webbed paws. Also bulldogs and pugs can barely breath when on land so swimming ain't really good.
Also Bassett Hounds are horrible swimmers not only because of their short legs and non webbed paws, but because they have the densest bone structure of any breed. This makes them sink like a rock.
I would never get one of these breeds but if you do supervise them around water.

Girlfriend had a blind yorkie. We were at a house party(years before we started dating), and her mom called her freaking out because the damn dog walked off into the pool and drowned.
She fell to the floor and started crying. I'll never forget what she said in a sad little sobbing voice....
"You're, you're what? You're giving it mouth to mouth?"
I don think I stopped laughing for an hour. I had to leave the area. The thought of her mom giving this little dog mouth to mouth was just too much for my maturity level at the time.

Yes, I have known a few and it is horrible. It's usually small dogs that fall into pools.

Not my boo KB?
You are a dick! People do crazy shite when their dogs die, I found one on mine dead, I had just seen him alive a few minutes earlier, and I swooped him up to rush to the pet hospital and literally MADE an ambulance I saw pull over and try to help. I was a mess and they were the nicest guys ever but he was gone and it turned out that it was cancer.
