Great story, thanks for sharing.

My partner Benny and I have just got a dog; we both work from home so decided it would be nice to have a dog around again as we both had family dogs when we were kids. He is a rescued English Pointer, who's previous owner sadly died very suddenly leaving his dog locked up in the house with his body until neighbours alerted the police that the dog was barking constantly. He's about three years old and very affectionate and is called Geronimo (or Gerry for short). What no one told us is that he loves the water and will just jump straight in and splash around and swim if it is deep enough.

We discovered this when we took him for his first walk up to the nearby nature reserve where there is a reasonable sized lake where we've often been swimming ourselves. Gerry headed straight for the water as soon as we got near and refused to come out until Benny waded in and grabbed his collar. The next time we had Benny's nephew James and his mate Paul with us and as soon as Gerry dashed into the water and started swimming around, James waded in and and started swimming with him, which Gerry loved, and when James came out Gerry followed him quite happily. The walk ended with all five of us getting soaked and having great fun, Gerry was in doggy heaven with four humans swimming with him. We were all in jeans and tees or polo-shirts and got a few funny looks as we sloshed the half-mile home, but it was fun and we shall definitely be doing it again.
