A Brazilian model drowned in Sao Paulo after jumping into the sea during a raging storm to try to rescue her puppies — the second runway walker from the South American city to die in a week. Caroline Bittencourt, 37, leaped into the sea on Sunday after her two dogs fell off a catamaran as winds reached 62 mph. Husband Jorge Sestini followed her into the water in a desperate rescue attempt, and he was in the wild waters for three hours before being saved. The model’s body was finally found late Monday near Cigarras Beach, her father-in-law, Alfredo Sestini, confirmed to Globo...

Don’t take your dogs on a boat, esp a catamaran.

Dogs on a boat? Some dogs love it. My friend’s golden retriever couldn’t wait to jump in the boat then the water. My dogs HATED the boat. Would hide anywhere they could.

Your correct about the catamaran ( unless it’s a huge one). And definitely not with the wind conditions they mentioned.

That was really a bad decision to go boating in weather like that. Not to mention bringing dogs.

Here's my favourite version of 'Girl From Ipanema'. NOT Stan Getz.

Looks like she had two good floatation devices.

The lake nearby has Muskie. People on boats occasionally let their little dogs swim there too with predictable results.

Reminds me of when I was a kid fishing with Mom. There was mommy duck and little babies swimming towards shore. One at a time “gulp!”, down went a baby. There were large northern pike in the lake, which is a close relative of the muskie.

Another time we were trolling for walleye, and Mom had her fingers in the water, just playing around. A northern made a pass at her fingers and missed.

Norther pike are very vicious and will attack anything.
