Expensive classes teach dogs to behave like dogs

New York, NY - As if people don't already ridicule them enough, now apparently New York City dogs need lessons to learn to swim??!

I know the dog is not as intellectually gifted as man, but the fact that it's called the doggy paddle should suggest something. Hell, I learned as a toddler courtesy of my uncle Ron's patented Drunken River-Toss method. In fact, if you're looking for discount swimming instruction, meet me at the East River in twenty minutes, and bring a forty of Big Bear.
