Only thing close I got is one of my 190lb Danes falling into our pool like the dumbass he was.. dove in after him and got beat ta shit by those paws .... sinking like a rock. Give me your dude every time ha.... look at you saving lives ;)
We were up on the lake and all of a sudden, Snuffy the pug was missing. He was 3 feet under water walking on the bottom looking up. We rescued him just in time. My current dog is a sinker and life jackets for some dogs are absolute life savers. I can only imagine how scratched up you got from your buddy. Well done!!

Last fall we’re running towards nautical bay at the end of the day. Lake is pretty empty as it’s off season. Seadoo upside down outside the no wake zone and two people in the water. I slow the boat to see if they’re ok, they’re not. Guy and girl, rolled the seadoo and didn’t know how to roll it back over. The male had a life vest on that looked like it was two sizes too small and he says, I can’t swim.

I jump in and roll the ski over and it’s water logged, seat below the water. I tell
Them to jump in the boat (which was an ordeal In itself) And hook a line from the cigarette to the ski. They explained they rented it but didn’t really know where from. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ wife gets on the phone and starts calling rental people. Turns out it’s the place right next to rotary park. The rental people are kinda clueless and almost denying they have a ski out. I drag the ski and people back and the dudes like, beach your boat and bring the ski in. Lol it’s super shallow and rocky I say, no dude, come get your people and ski. And maybe give better instructions before you send people off.

These people were beyond clueless and had zero business on a seadoo. And big boy explained he was about to go under even with vest on. These are the types that cause fatalities on the water. 🤦‍♂️
