The viral TikTok clip captures her screams as she feared her beloved pet had drowned, only for the dog to re-emerge moments later, completely unbothered.
Underwater treasure!
To her surprise, the mischievous pit bull had been busy retrieving a submerged object, proudly returning to shore with his discovery clutched in his mouth.
While his antics sparked relief and laughter online, the video also raised awareness about canine swimming abilities.
Some breeds, such as Retrievers and Spaniels, are natural swimmers due to their history in hunting and water retrieval; most dogs can learn to swim with proper guidance.
However, you must remain vigilant around water to avoid mishaps.
Keep a watchful eye
The video has racked up over 3.3 million views and 242,000 likes, with social media users sharing their own similar experiences.
“I would have been losing it searching the water,” one viewer commented, while another shared a proud memory of their Labrador catching a fish during a swim.
This owner’s scare is a useful reminder to keep a close eye on your adventurous pets while they explore the water.
