I wouldn`t go in the water myself so I certainly wouldn`t be letting my dog go in.
Sad though.

When I was working in north of WA the aboriginal blokes who were working the survey with us always travelled with dogs. If a creek had to be crossed the dogs were sent over first to 'check' if there were any salties around.

They aren't the oldest culture on the planet for nothing!

There was a thread on a forum somewhere, about a wildfowler's dog that got attacked by a seal.

I blame the owners! There are signs all over those beaches warning of just this. SWMBO's son is a volunteer lifegaurd on those beaches and he tells me that they are instructed to inform all dog owners of the dangers and draw their attention to the posted notices. Go figure.
