Jake, a Labrador Retriever, Swims The Alcatraz Race — Short Sound Clip

This is one of my favorite clips from the “Dog Appreciation Lessons” CD.  It’s a cute story about Jake, a rescued Labrador Retriever, who swims the Alcatraz race with his partner, Jeff Pokonosky.  At first, Jeff has to hold Jake back — by the tail — so he doesn’t burn himself out.  At the end of the race, everyone asks, “Did I beat the dog?”  This is a great example of what can happen in a relationship when man and dog work together on a project.  It’s also a great testimony to dog rescue.
