    This is perfectly sweet and I’m sure the good dog can swim, but shouldn’t it have on a life vest in case you capsize far from shore?

      Golden retrievers can swim for over 40 minutes without tiring - they were originally bred to retrieve shot waterfowl from the middle of lakes. It’s still absolutely a good idea to get a life vest, but even in a lake like this the doggo should be ok.
