Part of why Hope has been doing so well lately is probably a result of his swim therapy sessions. He has to do his swimming in this horse trough right now because his heart wouldn't be able to handle the full-on swim therapy at an actual center. The first time he went in, he didn't really understand and just floated. But now, he gets his little legs going and will swim from one side to the oter quite willingly. The shelter is also doing swim therapy for several other "Whiteford Dogs": Monroe, Flo, and Nugget (I'm pretty sure on those anyway). They also have heart problems and/or muscle atrophy bad enough that regular walks are difficult.
