At 13 years old, Lucy the chocolate Labrador is proving that it’s never too late to try something new.
In a heartwarming video posted by @styledaf on TikTok, the senior pup took her very first swim and her happiness was undeniable.
Lucy's first swim is pure happiness
Encouraged by her owner, Lucy cautiously approached the pool and took gentle steps into the water. Within moments, she was doggie paddling like she’d been doing it her whole life, her face lit up with pure joy.
After her swim, Lucy treated herself to a full-on spa session: rolling joyfully in the grass before using the garden bushes for a satisfying back scratch. Her delight radiated from every wag and wobble.
Joy of owning a senior dog
Senior dogs like Lucy often get overlooked in favour of younger pups, yet their mellow nature, boundless affection and appreciation for life’s simple pleasures make them truly special companions.
Lucy’s gentle paddling, whipped cream Pup Cup moments, and pure, tail-wagging joy remind us all that older dogs still have so much life to live and love to give.
