Coming with the morning light…
The story
The pups are old enough to learn to swim properly. Mama enters the shallow water and swims slowly while the pups watch from the bank. The adventurous brother jumps in immediately — splash! — and the curious brother follows.
The little girl stays on the bank. Mama swims back and gently encourages her. One paw goes in. Then another. Then she slips — splash! — and disappears underwater for a moment before popping back up, very surprised. And then she starts paddling.
Soon all three pups are swimming together, and beneath the water they discover tiny fish darting past their noses.
“But Mama knew that swimming was only the beginning.”
