Add 13 water-loving Golden Retrievers to one river and what do you get? Pure doggie joy.
That’s what Nanaimo dog walker Kim Sirett found when she planned a swim day for some of her regular clients last week.
“I grew up with Golden Retrievers and they are all about swimming. If I have five of them on a hike, they congregate at the water and just stare at me to throw a stick,” said Sirett, who operates Pooch Pack Adventures and owns one of the dogs herself.
“I just thought it would be such an easy, fun day if I had only Golden Retrievers on my hike — all my troubles would go away.”
It’s the fifth year she has organized an annual swim for the dogs, and the largest one so far. Sirett filled her van with the happy Goldens — plus one yellow Labrador that was allowed to crash the party — and headed to the Nanaimo River.
She posted a video, set to a foot-tapping tune, to YouTube for her human clients’ amusement:
