Tino receives a lesson on how to use the Paws Abord Doggy Boat Ladder, which took about 30 minutes. Now when Tino accompanies us on the boat, the ladder comes too! Photos submitted by Francis Lubinsky

Note the piece of carpet I put on the swim platform that assists dog on re-entering the boat. It's just a carpet sample. This year I tied it to the handle.

Stuart, in the water turns Tino around and points him at ladder.

Slide a toss-toy into the water to entice – it's hard to see, but Tino is looking at a small plastic football.
