Zeppole showcased his creative approach to beating the summer heat in a heartwarming video shared by his owner, earning himself the title “favourite pool trespasser” on TikTok.
Pool antics
The clip of Zeppole’s clever pool break-in starts with the playful pup utilising overturned canoes as stepping stones to scale the fence separating him from the neighbour’s pool. Despite his owner’s attempts to call him back, Zeppole was determined to cool off in the inviting waters next door. With a playful leap, the Golden Retriever splashed into the pool, leaving his owner both amused and exasperated.
Since its upload, the video has achieved an astonishing five million likes and over 43,000 comments. One viewer praised Zeppole’s defiance in the face of rules, while others shared their relatable experiences with their own four-legged troublemakers. One viewer’s comment even caught the attention of Zeppole’s owner, who humorously echoed the sentiment of struggling to keep a curious pet in check.
Mischievous pup
The video also revealed Zeppole’s playfulness in the water. But curious TikTok users wondered if the neighbours were bothered by Zeppole’s visits. Thankfully, his owner clarified that the neighbours were understanding and gracious about sharing their pool with Zeppole, especially as they had yellow Labradors of their own.
