They don't always need an excuse to dive into the water :-)

by the way...  I have an article on the GASP web site about the
remarkable fact that when I paddle with pooch-on-board, where I
previously thought I was invisible in my kayak to powerboaters, 
they suddenly develop owl-like eyesight and spot the pooch on deck
and come to an almost immediate stop while trying to slow down so
as not to upset the kayak with the "little doggie on board."
Never have any problems with jetskiiers or powerboaters when pooch
is on deck.  Simply amazing.  You can view the article/photos at:

There is also a gallery of paddling pooches (we are not alone :-).

Cheers,

Jackie
