Yes , he is lucky. along with being brave and of noble character. A dog who weighs approximately 35lbs is a lot of dog, and a challenge to keep balanced while pulling the animal into a narrow kayak. Imagine trying to pull one of Senator (Goldbar) Menendez fully loaded suitcases into your gently rocking kayaks from an icy stream.

A water soaked dog at that...brave and smart teen...I didn’t see if it was his dog??? Maybe not.
A scared, thrashing, panicky dog with slippery, soaked fur, too, in an unstable rocking kayak. The kid is VERY lucky to be alive.
