This Sunday, my dad and I took Charlie on a nice walk, all the way from Liben through Troja to Cisarsky Ostrov and back. The weather was quite nice despite the morning hours in early spring and we all enjoyed the walk.
We walked all the way along the river and I wondered if it was safe to let Charlie off the leash. I didn't know if he could swim and I had no intention of going in in case he needed rescue.
My dad reassured me: "Don't worry, most likely he's scared of water and he's not going to jump in."
Now, look at the picture above; the enthusiasm Charlie has for anything new and the energy he has to do anything should have been a clue.
About 6 seconds after I let Charlie go, I could see almost in slow motion how he fearlessly jumps, all four forward into the river, then a huge splash.
Not sure if his attempt to get back on shore could be classified as knowing how to swim, but he definitely knows how not to drown.
