Swimming on a hot spring day

Yesterday it was a very hot spring day. It actually became about 28 degrees Celcius, as in this time of year 12 degrees is normal. Early in the afternoon we went to a lake nearby to let the dogs enjoy the water so that they could resist the hot weather somewhat better. Toby always goes in directly but preferably wants to keep solid ground contact, in the least with his back legs. He knows how to swim, but doesn't do it that often. Well thats his choice.
But we always throw sticks into the water so that he is challenged to actually swim. Yesterday we did this as well and he stopped on the point where he lost contact with solid ground and to our surprise Brego fetched the stick by swimming towards it and returning it. When Brego came within reach of Toby, Toby took the stick from him and retrieved it to us.
Too bad, we didn't bring a camera with us.
Because the dogs came through the hot weather very good yesterday, we repeated the swimming in the lake thing today, and this time we took our camera with us. So here is a small movie of Brego swimming and fetching the stick.

And here's a picture of Toby taking the stick from Brego.
