Swimming is great summer exercise, but a dog's first time is frightening and needs calm coaxing with a life ring. Carry large dogs with a U-hug around the belly and small dogs like a baby, avoid the midday sun, cap sessions at about 5 minutes for unfit or older dogs, and watch for panting or cramps. Rinse the dog afterward and keep short-nosed or sick dogs out of the water.

Can Dogs Have Autism Too?
Dogs can show autism-like signs—social withdrawal, repetitive fixated behaviors, and oversensitivity to change—usually traced to genetics, long loneliness, or neglect/abuse.
