- Water dogs are seen along by banks of rivers or lakes. They are smaller than an ordinary dog. They have very short feet and their hair is very curly and smooth. If they caught a hold of your leg they would not let it go until they would break it. Their skin is very useful for furs. One of them was seen going from one lake to another herself and her pups.
