Marcella,
Yes, I suppose that someday a dog will get stung by a stingray. Can’t tell you why, but in the 5 years I’ve been surfing with my Surf Dog Nani and other members of the SoCal Surf Dogs, she (and the other Surf Dogs) has never been stung! I have 3 times! A few other Owners have too! We even started a ‘S Ray Club’ to document the stings. You can check it out at: http://www.socalsurfdogs.com/s-ray-club.html I think it’s because they get up onto the surfboard right away, close to the shore, before they would encounter a stingray and they typically ride the wave all the way to the beach, thus limiting their exposure to the risk! Hope that answers your question! Nani |
