The skills of our furry friends will never cease to amaze us. They can perform so well that many believe that they have nothing to envy of their human companions. For example, when they plan to dive for a while in the sea.
That was the case of a nice golden retriever who started swimming tirelessly in a kind of lake. First, it stays afloat with enviable style. However, later he decides it’s a good time to take a good dip.
The dog dips its head in and out of the water several times, perhaps to check the temperature or make sure no one is in its path. The objective that is set: take a container that is in the deepest part.
This golden retriever seems to be quite an expert at diving. He moves like a fish in water. It moves its legs to propel itself, while making several turns to gain even more depth. And without too much effort. In a matter of seconds, you achieve your goal.
Some social media users are not surprised at all. “The golden retriever is a breed of dog known for its intelligence, kindness, and loyalty. They are also excellent swimmers, and are often used as therapy and search and rescue dogs,” explains one.
Unlike other furry dogs, this breed has “dense, water-resistant fur that helps them stay warm.” “They also have webbed feet that help them swim with strength and efficiency,” they add.
In any case, this dog’s adventure has made many X (formerly Twitter) users fall in love with it. “Nothing rotating on itself to reduce water resistance. Fantastic,” says one. “The mermaid dog,” summarizes another. And one assures that there is no doubt that he does it “better than many.”
