Husky Crossing the River

Yesterday Rocco attempted to swim across the Fraser…River. We were out at MacDonald beach, and he decided to swim out towards a log…and past the log…and toward the Vancouver bank…We later calculated he swam 85m before deciding to come back, a total of approximately 233m considering he wasn’t swimming in a straight line (Google Earth is amazing!). I have never seen any dog swim out so far, and definitely not a Husky. I’m not sure I want to take him swimming anymore…

Swimming Husky 6 — Oh, hey! What are you guys up to over there?

Swimming Husky 7 — At this point a crowd has gathered to see the crazy dog

Swimming Husky 9 — The camera zoom could not keep up…

Swimming Husky 8 — He finally decided to turn around and swim towards us…

Once he got out of the water the small crowd gathered on the Vancouver bank gave out a cheer…I knew it is unusual for a Husky to swim, but Rocco can take on any water dog anytime.
