It’s also really fun to watch them chill and float in one once they figure out they can. They also can go pretty damn fast once they figure out they can put all the work into going forward.
My dog had to have one of his legs amputated due to cancer, and he was really sad he couldn't swim. Once we got him a life jacket he could swim again and I'll never forget that big dumb smile on his face!
The only way my old dog could swim was with a lifejacket. His butt was too heavy so his rear end just sank and forced him to walk upright in the water. Lifejacket allowed him to swim like the dog in this clip.
It's way easier to grab the lifejacket handle on my dog's lifejacket. He likes to throw himself overboard at least twice whenever we take him out. So he goes overboard, seems around for 10 minutes, then haul his butt in the boat and try to scold him. It never works. Usually we just leash him on the boat to prevent him from jumpin.
My brother watched our dog when we went on vacation back in March. He called me to tell me our dog had fallen in the pool during the night. If he hadn’t woken up and barely heard a noise he wouldn’t have known to check on her. When he checked his camera the next day he figured out she had been in the pool for 30 minutes. He said when pulled her out of the pool her legs collapsed under her. We all shudder thing think what would have happened if he hadn’t found her.
Also why I prefer harnesses to collars. Sometimes you need to grab your dog (safety, because some ahole threw a loud cracker at your feet, a car speeding around the corner ...) and a harness is just so much easier for you and your dog!
I got my little dude a pink one that wraps his whole body, with a handle on the back; if he falls out, all I gotta do is carefully balance my boat and haul him right back out
Coast Guard are heroes, man. Im biased, as my Dad was a puddle pirate, but they go straight into storms. Ive met pilots who've flown in Desert Storm who said they would rather get shot at then fly in a hurricane. My Dad wasnt a pilot, but was air crew during Katrina getting batted around in a flying metal box by monstrous winds. Also flew during winter storms off the coast of Alaska.
Anyone who actually knows anything about the military respects the hell out of the USCG. They are essentially doing meaningful - often times difficult - tasks every single time they go out to do something. Flying in storms, saving injured/half dead people in rough seas, fighting drug cartels, performing smuggling raids at sea, rescuing human trafficking victims, and of course, most importantly, saving doggos.
People don't give credit to how hard it can be to locate something on the surface of the ocean when you're on the surface. With a helicopter and some specialized sensors it becomes a lot easier. The coast guard is there for a very good reason. Call them immediately when you need them.
Can you recommend the best way to get rescued by the Coast Guard? I don't want to be in too much danger. Just enough danger to make them want to come out.
If you don't know how looking for something in the ocean is absurdly difficult even if someone saw the dog fall off by the time they stopped and turned around there's a good chance they wouldn't be able to see its' head above even calm waves coupled with the fact that the dog is black wouldn't help at all. Coast guard obviously have years of training and experience to help and even they simply can't find stuff sometimes.
My folks last GSP would literally swim for 8 hours a day (they live on a lake) and would only stop when my dad forced him to do so. He did so up until he died at age 12. Seriously energetic dogs.
The CG used to not rescue animals. However, because so many people refused to be rescued without their pets during Katrina, the CG changed its policy. The CG policy is now "When feasible, Coast Guard units should conduct pet rescues when their owners are rescued."
You might consider a visit to that particular Coast Guard crew, so Myla can show off her new life jacket, and so you can drop off a huge platter of sandwiches from a nearby deli, buckets of sides and a tub of iced bottled soda. Twice as much as they'll need. If you ask ahead, they'll decline. Just do it, and apologize later.
Coast Guards are the unsung heroes of our armed forces. They service our country directly and not just provide support to other countries. I felt like everything I did in the air force was in the support of our allies and not directly to the people that pay taxes. I shoulda joined the coast guard.
Everyone loves to make fun of the coasties but honestly being in any branch of the cost guard would be cool as hell. There's a video out there of them jumping off of a moving boat onto another movie by boat in a drug bust. I'll see if I can find it.
SmarterEveryDay on YouTube has a series of videos about the Coast Guard. I can't imagine anyone not having total respect for the Coast Guard after watching those videos.
How do you lose a dog overboard? I’m genuinely curious. The articles online just say the owner lost her when she fell over board. Did they just keep boating off?
This is why lifejackets are a good idea for dogs, too!
Yep my dog has his own and absolutely loves it. Plus, looks very cute and I know if something goes wrong there’s a backup to him just swimming.
It’s also really fun to watch them chill and float in one once they figure out they can. They also can go pretty damn fast once they figure out they can put all the work into going forward.
“You guys, this is a REALLY big pool and I can’t find the stairs… halp..”
They also have very handy grips along their back so you can pick up your pup like a bag =x

Yep, definitely. Good idea for everyone to have one on.

Everyone should have one on every single boating trip.

Where is your mother, I mean owner.

And seatbelts when riding in a vehicle.
I hope people know that the coast guard does this nonstop all of the time, doggo rescuers

Yeah... I was on a submarine and we were transiting into port
Good guys coast guard
A government agency that doesn’t feed on the blood of dead K9s?
If I were to join any military branch, it would definitely be the coast guard.
If my dog went overboard I'm absolutely calling the Coast Guard.

[удалено]
why not just do it yourself?
How does one call the Coast Guard?
My dog used to spaz the fuck whenever we tried to bathe or shower him. Never thought to call the Coast Guard. Hrmmmm.
I’m proud that my best friend is going into the coast guard to do stuff like this.
That poor pup was probably terrified ! Absolutely LOVE the US Coast Guard !
They’re not perfect though. Like they make drugs harder to import
That’s dog is a lab and probably jumped right back into the water.
And then there was that story about the cat found paddling in the middle of the Pacific.
What?! Do you have the link? How does that happen?!!
"Thank you"!!! It's only two words, but it means the world for those who appreciate your kindness, and Heroism.
I need video of the 2 hours the crew spent petting her…
Best I can do is
I am so gutted not to see her shake that sea water off ALL OVER THE PLACE. So happy she’s out and Ok
Coasties are America’s real heros.they have bad ass toys and do really cool stuff.
You should join! There’s dozens of us !

I hope the owners know now to always have a life jacket on your loves one, children's and furry children alike!
Thanks for the source. Well done to the coast guard. Hope the dog’s fine now.
That’s one weird looking goat.
I love the Coast Guard so much. It’s like being rescued by Chic-fil-A employees. They are just so nice.
Can you recommend the best way to get rescued by the Coast Guard? I don't want to be in too much danger. Just enough danger to make them want to come out.
For a moment there it looked like Myla didn’t want to get back on board…
They were repositioning her so as not to pick her up just by the collar.
I think she was scared and exhausted.
She’s probably just embarrassed about how weird looking of a goat she is.
If you have a GSP you know this is true. They will swaam until this happens.
"I swear to god there was a squirrel here just a minute ago"
This is in the top 5 list of reasons to call the coastguard. Omg, this is cute and terrifying at the same time!
I’m happy the pupper was rescued but I’m confused as to why the owners didn’t do it themselves?

SAME! I can’t find anything about how she went overboard!
I knew those puddle pirates were good for something! (Joking, for non military people)
Highly recommend looking at SmarterEveryDay's series on the coast guard if you haven't already.
"OH, you said Swim Myla!', I thought you said 'Swim a mile....'"
No other explanation. How does a dog fall overboard and get this far that it’s lost at sea.
Of course it’s a GSP! I am so glad she is ok
I have a 3 month old GSP and he's a handful! Best dog ever though.
My folks last GSP would literally swim for 8 hours a day (they live on a lake) and would only stop when my dad forced him to do so. He did so up until he died at age 12. Seriously energetic dogs.
[удалено]
I'd imagine the dog had the single best-feeling whole-body shakedown a few moments later!
Thant you
how long was dog in water for
As a coastie It’s so nice seeing the support for the CG in the comments 🥺
Luckily it’s a GSP and they have so much energy, honestly probably was mad they didn’t let it keep swimming 😂
Probably wasn't even tired yet
Coasties…..some of the very best people amongst us all.
A true hero!
[удалено]
They were so careful and gentle when they picked Myla up. 😊
Sweet girl. Good job Coast Guard! Always have your dog in a life jacket when you’re on the water.
Kind of sad I didn’t get to see the pup shake off all the water
The CG used to not rescue animals. However, because so many people refused to be rescued without their pets during Katrina, the CG changed its policy. The CG policy is now "When feasible, Coast Guard units should conduct pet rescues when their owners are rescued."
I wanted to see her shake all over them!
Why did they cut off before the shake?!
You might consider a visit to that particular Coast Guard crew, so Myla can show off her new life jacket, and so you can drop off a huge platter of sandwiches from a nearby deli, buckets of sides and a tub of iced bottled soda. Twice as much as they'll need. If you ask ahead, they'll decline. Just do it, and apologize later.

Hell yeah. This is what I want to see my tax dollars go toward.
If my dog went overboard, id jump in too to drown with him
How big was the boat the dog went overboard on..? They couldn't just turn around?
Exactly.
Why wasn’t Myla rescued by Mylas owners?
[удалено]
Aww good dog ! I’m so happy they rescued her. Thank god it was a lab built for swimming.
When you’re here you’re family
that poor girl
Hope he got home ok. Xx
Poor thing was probably exhausted. Glad it was rescued👍🏻
I wanna point out, look how he doesn't pull the collar but uses it to guide the doggo without pulling it into the throat
Semper Paratus!!
I have seen a few of these videos of dogs just swimming in the middle of the ocean. Do they fall off there boats and no one notices? What happens?
The dog looked embarrassed. Typical Lab.
Fabulous !!! Thanks Guys for ALL YOU DO 👍
Hold up, did the dog just curl itself up towards the end of the video so it's easier for the coastie to pick the dog up???
Omg not the neck!!!
Come on?

Thanks to all of the US Military and what they do all over the globe 🌎
i'm here for when someone takes the bait lol
They left their own dog....
Gotta say the dog has good technical ability and a sting Stoke....10
She just went over board? Sure…
How do you lose a dog overboard? I’m genuinely curious. The articles online just say the owner lost her when she fell over board. Did they just keep boating off?
Slightly confused as to why another boat carrying the coast guard needed to come out there?
Someone teach the coast guard how to pick up a fucken dog. Smh.
Put the fucking phone down and help pull the dog up!
Not sure which dimension you live in, but the people in the video only have 3 dimensions to work with.
savevideo
That's a lot of weight for just a collar! Yay Myla!
Yay!
BZ boat crew!
This is how Plague Dogs ended, right?
Good day
By went overboard you mean decided to go for a swim and almost immediately regretted that decision
SubhanaAllah
PUPPY!!!
my dog wouldnt even get close to a boat. he would see us get on a boat and run back to the car.
Poor baby.
What a sweet baby
Idk why, but every time I see an ocean video on Reddit I’m just waiting for the shark to appear..
Why put a hand on your ship mate when reaching when you can film? That’s some shit Seaman Gooblats would do.
I wanted to see the shake
MORE PUP PICS, PLEASE!!
Some people just do their jobs.
Out working the seas and now you get to chill out with a dog. Sounds like a great days for the boys
gifreversingbot
dammit thanx for saving the dog... why is he overboard
35 degrees... Sounds like San Luis Obispo off the California coast. Or North Carolina. Green water probably means the latter.
Gold star
Nice work, guys.
[удалено]
He must’ve been so tired :(
They'll never figure out he fed his dog two kilos of cocaine bags stuck inside pieces of cheese
Finally, about animal rescue video i can assume is not staged
Man that PUP is strong AF swimming like that to keep alive. Crazy how hard life fights.
Great save.. Beautiful ❤️🥰❤️❤️
It's almost like they knew what to do.
As much as I, among others, meme on the Coast Guard, you gotta love em. Absolute heroes.
Hurray!!!
Bless you for saving that beautiful doggie
Glad the 29 is good for something
Silly Myla! So glad she was rescued! She was trying to help them get her in the boat! Good doggo!
Thought it was a Sea Lion at first.
Sea pupper!
Sea pupper!
How do you know it’s name tho
🙏🏻❤️
Lift with your legs!
Someone please give that dog some pats!
Good doggo
Thank you for your service!
That dog looks tired, glad they pick them up
Love the coast guard!
If you are going to take your
Get s life jacket for your dog
I’m 99% sure that’s one of the fast patrol boats I designed/built 😊 awesome to see it put to good use like this.
That’s a dog that needs a nap now
