water rescue dog
Aquatic rescue canine
A water rescue dog is a dog trained to assist in saving people from drowning or other water emergencies.
Breeds like Newfoundlands, Portuguese Water Dogs, and Labrador Retrievers are favored for their swimming ability, strength, and calm temperament.
These dogs can tow victims to shore, carry rescue lines to boats, or retrieve objects from the water.
The water rescue dog swam out to the struggling kayaker and let him grab her harness.
