Over 60 years ago in NW Ontario My springer spaniel swam out to =
"retrieve" a beaver in a small pond. The dog circled the beaver about =
one revolution when the beaver grabbed him by the shoulder area and =
dragged him down. They were under water for about 10 or 20 seconds when =
the dog surfaced, yelping and swimming to shore. Pretty bad wound that =
looked like it might have been from more than one bight. Almost ruined a =
good duck retriever.=20

A beaver attacking and biting a snorkeller, in saltwater, and a =
considerable distance from the shore? Was the culprit really a beaver? =
Any thoughts?

The Herald article mentions that the incident took place "a kilometre from shore, in water two metres deep." So the beaver (?) would not have been cornered in any way, unlike the agressive beaver in Belarus. Also, in the article the victim is quoted as initially thinking that he was being attacked by a "sea otter." Sure, here, on the Right Coast?
