That's my son's Golden Retriever who loves the water and riding in boats (and I always make her put on a life jacket before getting in my boat). (And geeze, I just realized that the last time I won a photo contest here was 2013..... there's a lot of great photographers in this group. I hope I'm still around in 12 more years to keep the streak going.)

I can't resist showing off her cute puppy photos, so here's a few more of her when she was younger.
