This is a funny thread.

I have a 17 foot Mad River canoe and have taken my dog Max, a Golden
Retriever, paddling in it plenty of times.  He often jumps out, and getting
him back in can be a bit of a challenge.  But he loves the water so much, he
can be hard to control when around it.

Three years ago I bought a WS Pungo so I would have a "kayak" that I could
paddle with him.  He sits in front of me in the Pungo and seems quite
content.  Obviously, neither of these options is good for anything except a
few feet from a safe shoreline.  But still it can be fun, for "family"
trips.
