He's a Newfoundland called Whizz.  He's just completed his training in water rescue as part of the Swansea Maritime Reserve Rescue Unit. As Newfoundlands are known for their swimming ability they are popular in this kind of role.

having said that the expression on Whizz's face doesnt appear to be one of a hound having fun.

I'd be careful Nick, they are big buggers and very fast on their feet  point:

Judging from the size of the engine housing in the background I'd say you are right there.



Not to worry Nick but apparently Newfoundlands are one of the most popular breeds in Canada after Malamuts  point:
