When his owner takes him out on the water for a charming day trip, a dog that adores the ocean enjoys climbing onboard the speedboat with him.

When Jennifer LaFreniere, age 28, brought her gorgeous doggo, Paddington, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Poodle mix, on his first boat excursion, she decided to record the momentous occasion on camera. Paddington seemed more like a seasoned sea dog than a first-timer as the wind blew over his thick fur as he stood boldly on the windscreen of the boat as it hit the waves near Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Jennifer described the situation as follows: “Paddington and I were sitting on the bow of the boat together as I held his leash.” Suddenly, he began to climb up onto the windshield and ride from that vantage point. I knew from the beginning that he was going to be a little bit of a risk-taker, so I decided to let him enjoy this for a little time without pulling him back.

“It fills me with such delight to watch Paddington having so much fun in his life,” she said. It is clear from the look on his face that he is savoring every moment of his life and making the most of every opportunity.
“Having Paddington around ensures that each day is filled with exciting new experiences. His daring spirit and infectious enthusiasm for life continue to take me by complete surprise. He is a wonderful example of how to make the most of each and every day.
