Our dog came from a rescue centre and was around 4 years old at the time and has hated water from the first day we had him, to the point he will walk around puddles rather than get his paws wet. The only exception was a year or so ago when, without warning he launched himself of a small pier into a local lake. We can only assume he thought it was firm land due to the reflections in the water because his reaction when the 'land' disappeared and he sank into the lake was a real picture. He quickly swam back to the pier but getting 25Kg of wet dog back was a bit of a struggle and he stank to to the high heavens, reaching a field he ran like a demented pup for around ten minutes as though the hounds on the devil were chasing him. We still go to the same park but the piers are no a no go area in his book.
