SAN FRANCISCO - With a stomach full of scrambled eggs, Jake dog-paddled his way into history, leaving most of the serious — and human — swimmers in his wake.

Organizers of the South End Rowing Club’s 10th annual Alcatraz Invitational — a 1.2 mile swim from the infamous prison island to the San Francisco shoreline — say the 65-pound golden retriever is the first canine known to have made the crossing.

He was the only dog among more than 500 swimmers who lept into the chilly, choppy waters on Saturday, coming in 72nd overall. His time was 41 minutes and 45 seconds.

That’s awesome! no way I could keep my two dogs focuses enough to do that. One would be trying to lick everyone, the other one would be barking at everyone. Maybe if I got out “the precious” (her favorite rubber ball) and tied it to my leg or something, then she would swim the whole thing. Still, very cool. Wonder where they swim down here in San Diego

That’s great!!

Dog’s are the best. I’ll bet that pooch would follow his person anywhere.

If people were as loyal as dogs the world would be a better place.

People that are as loyal as dogs are the ones who hang out in the shrubs outside your house at 3 AM. We call them stalkers.

A good quote:

“Let me be the person my dog thinks I am.”

That dog is a poser!

Has the dog been tested for PEDs?
