They might not avoid the new magic carpet that banished the evil pool.
Mine ran across my solar cover within 2 mins of deploying it the first time. To him it was a shortcut. He was a mostly underwater dog burrito before I could even process what happened.
Dogs thinking thin ice is a shortcut just the same. I got a cover so the dogs wouldn't fall through the ice, and then the little guy was ripping the cover, so I had to build a fence to protect the cover from the dogs. I coulda saved $3200 and just build the
fence.
