Default Okay for dogs to drink out of creeks?

I just read an article in Backpacker Magazine that said that dogs are just
as likely to get sick from drinking untreated water as people, so you should
prevent them from drinking from ponds or creeks.

Is there much truth to that?
My dog pretty much lives in the water, be it creeks, canals, ponds,
lakes..., and stopping her from drinking is a fools errand. *So, what to do?


'sigh' mine too, except he likes to wet his stomache and then roll in
the mud/dirt before shaking himslff dry, all over my trackies-'sigh'
