I'd recommend a doggie lifejacket with a handle on top. Then all you would
need is your boat hook to grab and hoist away.


Do they make them in his size?

at least 70 cm long for Shepherds etc do exist, see eg

I am very glad that it turned out well. I guess this illustrates the
chant I was taught for remembering the order of preference of rescue
methods when someone is in trouble in the water:

Reach . . . Throw . . . Row . . . Go

Reach (with a pole, boat hook or oar)

Throw (a life ring, a life jacket, an empty cooler, or anything else
that floats)

Row (use a boat)

Go (into the water and swim to assist . . . the most dramatic and
least preferred method for the reasons you shared.

Thanks for the story. Sometime I will relate the tale of how my
father and I ended up pouring gin on our legs to disinfect cuts we got
after we ran aground on a artificial reef made of old tires used to
raise oysters in the middle of the night.
