Years ago I was a quarter mile off shore at Bolinas. I was just on my body board. This was before I knew about the amount of sharks out there. I told my chain smoking buddy to hold on to my Bullmastiff. She was at least 160lbs. I casually noticed black shadows under my board. I thought maybe Batrays. I thought if it was a shark, I'd see the fins. (Wasn't thinking right. Recovering from a nervous breakdown.) All of a sudden I see my dog swimming towards me. I didn't even know she could swim. They were both just tiny specks at the beach, but she was coming out. I paddled towards her. We met in the middle. She put her two paws on my board, and we both kicked in. She was tired, and panting. I got to shore feeling relieved. My buddy said he saw a fin moving towards my dog when she was swimming out. I haven't been out since.
