Tamed wolves/dogs can appear to be sitting while they are floating on top of water. This is likely due to the fact that when the game loads the world, it checks if the 'sitting' entity data is set to 'true' and regardless of the dogs submergion state, it simply applies the sitting model.
Steps to Reproduce:
Spawn a wolf
Tame it
Make it sit
Push it into water
✔ The wolf will have 'sitting:1b' applied, but float standing uprightLeave the world
Rejoin the same world
❌ The wolf will have 'sitting:1b' applied, but float with the sitting model applied
Expected Results:
The wolf would not be sitting down while floating in the water, as any other time they are submerged in water the properly appear standing upright

I did notice that if you push a dog in water while it is sitting, it will swim back to its spot as if it wasn't sitting, and when it reaches land, it will sit normally.

Requesting ownership of this issue.
Present in 1.20.5. May be more relevant now with the recent updates and changes to wolves.
