Boat Carrying German Shepherds Crashes Into Bridge

A woman kayaking with her family in Kings Bay, Florida, back in 2021, was excited to see two German shepherds on an oncoming boat, until the vessel’s canopy hit the bridge it was approaching.

The video, recorded by Tiffany Nicholson, shows a pontoon boat moving toward a bridge. As Nicholson is heard greeting the canine passengers, the bimini top of the boat whacks the bridge and folds dramatically.

Nicholson told Storyful that her family was enjoying a day out near Crystal River and decided to go kayaking, hoping to see some manatees. Instead, they spotted two German shepherds on a boat.

The family, who are the proud owners of an eight-year-old shepherd named Taylor, always “light up when [they] see other German dogs,” Nicholson said.

She jokingly reckoned that her “incredibly annoying doggie voice” might have distracted the driver, adding: “Either way, he misjudged the bridge height and ran the bimini right into the bridge.”

Nicholson uploaded the video to TikTok on November 18. At the time of writing, it had been liked more than 177,000 times. Nicholson told Storyful that she did not expect the footage to be so popular. Credit: Tiffany Nicholson via Storyful
