to explain why the dog was able to survive the frigid waters of the Lynn Canal
in late October. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is believed to be descended from
two puppies that survived a Newfoundland shipwreck in 1807. The Chesapeake Bay
Retrievers are powerful swimmers with webbed feet and a thick, water-shedding
coat. This may explain why the dog was able to make it to shore and survive the
sinking. </span></font></p><font style="font-size:11pt;line-height:19pt">
