Dog (domestic dog)
The Newfoundland is a large breed of working dog. They can be black, grey, brown, or black and white. However, in the Dominion of Newfoundland, before it became part of the confederation of Canada, only black and Landseer (white-and-black) coloured dogs were considered to be proper members of the breed.[2] They were originally bred and used as working dogs for fishermen in Newfoundland.[3][4]
They excel at water rescue/lifesaving because of their muscular build, thick double coat, webbed paws, and swimming abilities.
