Beacon and Buoy are on duty at Scarborough Beach State Park, where they’ve been hired as lifeguards.
Newfoundlands are in the working group category of dogs. And a couple of Newfies in Maine now have a super cool summer job: lifeguarding.
As park manager Greg Wilfert explained to News Center Maine’s Jackie Mundry last year, the human lifeguard is the first to enter the water when a swimmer needs help. Another human lifeguard follows with a dog and some floating rescue equipment. Once the swimmer has been helped onto the floating device, the dog goes into action, helping to tug everyone to safety.
Beacon and Buoy are filling a vital need. Over the decades that Wilfert has lifeguarded at the state park, he says over 1,000 water rescues have taken place. But it’s rare to find a lifeguard who sticks around for more than a few years.
