If you have a boat and want to get a dog, or you want to get a boat and a dog, or you already have a dog and want to get a boat, then you are entering the wonderful world of having a Boat Dog!
In this video, we pit a Welsh Corgi up against a Samoyed to find out which is the smarter boat dog.
Morty wasn't sure if his little legs could get him over the shrink wrap door. After some encouragement and practice, he has mastered jumping through the door to get in and out of the shrink wrapped cockpit.
Morty has it pretty good! He gets to relax on deck as we take him to new lands to explore.
When you liveaboard, the act of getting from pier to yacht may come natural. Our long legs can bridge the gap over the water and allow us to step across to the other side. Our long arms allow us to grab hold of the deck gear as we secure ourselves as we cross over the water.
Our furry friends do not have this luxury, especially if they have short legs!
A gangplank will provide a safe and stable passageway from pier to deck without the fears of falling in as you make the journey. Our short legged friends will also appreciate the autonomy in letting them get on deck when they are ready, instead of having to wait for you to carry them across the gap (though they still need you to unzip the shrink wrap door).
Morty looks forward to his walks very much. At the mention of going for a walk, Morty will spring up into action and dance around with energy.
