In the midst of Italy’s hot summers—when the beaches are full of swimmers—the lifeguards keeping everyone safe bring in some much-needed, four-legged assistance. We’re talking about water rescue dogs. Dogs make ideal lifeguard partners as they remain calm under pressure and instinctively choose the safest path through the water currents back to shore. They can even stay afloat while paddling multiple swimmers to safety. Through his Italian School for Lifeguard Dogs, Ferruccio Pilenga has trained more than 350 volunteer pups to execute water rescues. Now THAT’s a good dog! https://youtu.be/7NTOj-sdFMU

A swimmer from Bear Creek Village is still healing after being bit by a river otter last month. It’s now been more than two weeks since the attack. The 57-year-old says she’s been swimming in the lake almost every day for five years, and she’s never seen an otter, much less had one bite her. “The first bite went straight through my foot from one side to the other,” says the swimmer.
