Poor pup! And with those stumpy l’il corgi legs, too.

Clever, brave (lucky) dog. But probably drifted further than it ‘swam’.

Sounds like the pup fell into the river, so it seems to me like they were pretty close to the shore when it happened - my guess is that she swam the short distance to the shore and then had a grand old time exploring the shoreline before she was found seven miles away.

Or it was all a clever hoax on the dog’s part and she was never even in the water at all…

This is a great set up for a Pixar movie; like a canine version of “Overboard”. A wealthy, pampered pooch falls overboard from their owners’ yacht, and has to take up with a stray pooch to survive.

Atwood asked the man to bring the dog to him on the River Road in Rockledge where they were finally reunited.
Hm.

I was thinking the same. But nonetheless, had to avoid gators during the walk!

didn’t get her .

Good excuse to repost this ol’ classic corgi gif.

Or, just swam to shore and was wandering around.
Even the TV article said “swam 7 miles”, when it’s obvious that’s not what the dog did.

I foolishly interpreted
Jessica made it to the shore of a Rockledge neighborhood
to suggest that someone saw her come ashore.
A foolish assumption on my part.
(And @Elmer who made the same point first, earlier in the thread.)

I believe the dog is actually a cork-e not a corgi… it just floated and bobbed around

Friendly PSA: When you bring your dog on the water, unless you know they’re a really good swimmer in the conditions of the water at the time, you should probably have them where a life jacket.
