At Leisure Lake the sun is always shining and only a few stray clouds roam the open sky; paradise is the one word that really describes it. This beautiful lake is clean and refreshing, the very best place to swim and fish. Pups are known to play here while older wolves watch at the side, engaged in their own activities.

Feeling his fur against mine, just being able to inhale his fragrance is enough to calm my frantic nerves. I fight the urge to run back to shore with every uncertain step but I fear letting him go more than I fear the watery depths. Every fiber of my being knows that I'm safe as long as I'm with him. Now letting go to actually swim...that's going to be the tough part. He tells me to trust him as if I would think to say no. He should know better. I've trusted him my entire life, ever since he came into Saw Tooth for the first time. Ever since I defended him from that other female pup who wanted to chase him out. I have always trusted him. I know that he's just trying to distract me when he tells me to think back to when we played tag together. Even so, I play along, eager for any distraction from the deepening of the water around me. When I lay my head on his shoulder, he shudders but I dare not open my eyes, perhaps a little afraid of what I might see in his eyes if I do. Was it a shudder of revulsion or a shudder of pleasure? I can only hope the latter since I feel comforted and safe as long as I'm touching him. Suddenly, Hachiko pushes off the lake floor and when I go to take the next step, I can't touch, my nose already lifted to stay on his back. I gasp in panic but not wanting to let him go, I float up with him and my paws start frantically paddling, though I do more splashing with my front paws than anything. My back feet kick mercilessly, seeking escape and it takes every fiber in my being to keep me from opening my eyes and turning around right now. I prick my ears, listening to the sound of his voice. He tells me to paddle and I try to take deep breaths, trying to calm down while I slow up the paddling with my front legs, trying to get a rhythm. I kick with my back legs but my lips tighten in frustration. He tells me to open my eyes, the magic words and I do instantly, my wide eyes showing white with fear as I look around at the endless expanse of water. I close them again and take another deep breath, telling myself that as long as Hachiko is with me, I won't drown. Then I open them again and look over at him as he puts more space between us. Paniking at the distance, I move over toward him, my legs going back frantic as my head slowly starts to sink below the surface. Hachiko, help! What do I do? Do I kick both hind legs at the same time? How do I paddle? Don't let me drown! My voice is hurried and afraid as my nose starts to sink, my only way to get oxygen. I start to get flashes of that day I fell in the water and Hachiko had to save me. I start to remember the pull of the water and how helpless I felt. My legs start to turn to jello and my eyes glaze over with fear as I stare at Hachiko, wanting him to be the last thing I see.
