Escape from Alcatraz

He may have been the only dog in the race, but he did place 72nd!!

A golden retriever named Jake made history on July 30th when he jumped from a boat into the choppy waters of the San Francisco bay and swam 1.2 miles to shore. This dive made Jake one of the more than 500 participants in the South End Rowing Club's 10th annual Alcatraz Invitational.

The 4-year old made the swim in 41 minutes and 45 seconds. Hi human dad, Jeff Pokonosky, and he live in San Diego and swim 2 miles twice a week.
