That's scary. A good reason to have a doggie door that only unlocks for the dog collar. It's things like this why I had my son go through swim lessons so young, just as another layer of safety.
Cant charge people for this type of accident. Its sad and unfortunate but this was not intentional.
Crawled through the doggie door to, I'm assuming, an unfenced pool.
