My parents’ dog, Barnum, has a bit more training to do when it comes to coming when he is called. One of his favorites, is to swim away when he is off the leash. He sometimes takes this to an extreme and really does not stop swimming into the lake or river. This has resulted in several rescues. My mother was the first to have to make a swimming rescue. Of course, this was in early May on a 60 degree day when the water was still in the 50s. My mother stripped down to her underwear and swam after that dog. I won’t post what the neighbors on the lake said about that:) Given her superhero efforts, Jess bought her a superman tee-shirt. Barnum’s adventures did not stop there. Amy and Greg have since each gotten a turn to swim after the dog, respectively earning superhero tee-shirts as well.
