Pool safety is certainly a topic that should be taken very seriously for children and pets. Pets? Yes pets. We had a client last week that had a black Labrador retriever for 7 years and some how the dog got into a large plastic back and while trying to remove the bag from his head, he managed to fall into the pool resulting in him drowning. These types of incidents are not reported in Puerto Rico because...well I really do not know why not. The dog in this case was the only dog the kids had ever had (the kids are a little older than the dog by a year or two). This tragedy occurred six months ago. The emotional sensitivity has gotten a little better about the topic and a new lab has been adopted to the family (puppy) but the difference this time around is that the owner has elected to have a pool safety fence installed for the dogs and even for other kids that may come to visit.
