Every Sunday we would take our dogs down to Port City Beach, right outside of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The dogs looked forward to it every weekend. They LOVED to run, play and swim there while we watched boats sail by. Then, a big fat opportunist (aka salt water crocodile) moved into the lagoon right where our dogs always swam. Of course he would hide just under the water out of sight…waiting. How do you explain to your water-obsessed dog that her habitual swim just isn’t that worth it?
