The furry ones can’t do without their favorite toy. If they lose sight of it, they look for it ad nauseam, even if that means turning the house upside down or searching in places where before they didn’t even dare to approach. There are dogs that go further and are capable of diving in the water, even if they don’t like it at all, in order to recover a valued object.

That’s what happened to Ares, a friendly German shepherd who was left without a ball because he fell into a bucket full of water. The furry man looked resigned as he did not float and stayed at the bottom, but he decided to take action, even if he had to submerge his head in the container.

According to his owner in a TikTok video, the dog tries to retrieve the ball by putting his head in the water, but he can’t catch it with his snout. His toy is too deep and he’s not willing to spend more than a second with his head submerged.

He tries it several times. Unable to do so, she tries to put her paw in, but there is no way to reach her toy. He doesn’t give up and in the end, he gets his reward. As soon as she picks up the ball, she runs off with it in her mouth, trying to stop anyone from stealing it. This German Shepherd couldn’t be happier. Proof of this is that he does not stop wallowing with joy.

The users of this social network are admired by Ares’s attitude. “He is so adorable,” many say. “I love these dogs,” adds another. And some don’t understand the attitude of the person he records. “But why doesn’t the person recording do anything?” they ask. “Why don’t they help him?” many repeat.
