WEST TOWN — During a swimming lesson at a canine aquatic center in West Town, a dog drowned and his owner alleges her family's pet was not aided with CPR that could have saved the dog's life.
"What started as an exciting swimming lesson, ended in a tragedy and a traumatic experience that my family and I will never forget," said Paula Cano, a Maywood resident whose 3-year-old Doberman, Diego, died around 9:15 p.m. on March 31 at Doggy Paddle, 1330 W. Willow St.
Cano said Diego — who had never been in a swimming pool but enjoyed wading in the water at Montrose Beach — initially resisted, and that was her "first red flag" at the start of the lesson in a pool with Diego's "cousin" Piper, a boxer mix, who was with another instructor in the same pool.

Aw, poor dog.
That must be miserable for him.
:(
And a unibrow!
Dogs have masters, cats and birds have slaves...
If someone loses a pet, no matter how, it may not be tragic to someone looking on but surely can be tragic for the owner.
Those who name their children Moon Unit, Dweezle, Diva Thin Muffin, Audio Science, Blanket, Tu Morrow, Crimefighter, Jermajesty and Pilot Inspektor fall into the same dingbat category.
I regard to your last sentence.
“Somethings are a blessing in disguise”
I hate when my tragic dog dies.
My neighbors named their wolf-shepherd hybrid "Astro.'
Every once in a great while he'd get out to go mooch treats from everyone. Somehow he could tell when the power was out and the electric fence wasn't working.
So they would call for him, and call for him when they got home from work.
Another neighbor's little boy heard them calling the dog when they first moved in. "Astrooooo, Assstrrrooo! Come here boy!"
He ran to his mother and said,"Mommy, why did they name their dog 'Asshole?'"

Meaning & History
Means “I am faithful” in Latin. This name is commonly given to dogs
Canis Fidelis.
Same Latin root as “Fidel”
In reality, Castro was not worthy of an honor that rightly belongs to dogs.
:)
Indeed.
That one is always on all these threads, making the same “point”.
Turned out that way.
:D
Hmmm... maybe there's a market for pug butt-weights.
OMG....LOL!
The new, improved, “Popeil Pocket Pug Counterweight”!
How much would you pay NOW!?!
:D
Very true.
If it’s just one dog named Fidel I wouldn’t automatically assume they meant they were honoring a Cuban dictator... but I would if he had a mutt buddy named Raul.
Cool, now we have a name...we need a financier...
Now that we’re talking about such things, I don’t recall ever meeting a dog named Adolph.
o.O
I guess “fog” has never seen your picture.
Ron Popeil is still alive.
