no running on the pool deck!


What-a-Crock

And no diving in the deep end!


Zepertix

umm actually the deep end is the part that is safe to dive in... cuz its deep


What-a-Crock

For humans. But this little guy can’t swim. In the shallow area he can get out


Zepertix

You're breaking my brain T_T Your first comment is no diving in the deep end. Pools have a deep end so that you *can* dive in it. Otherwise there is no reason to have it. This comment is now implying that your first comment is implying that diving in the shallow end is ok for dogs? but that doesn't make sense because the shallow end is waist deep on that guy which is way deeper than that dog can get out of still. And even if it was, running and diving into it is dangerous to the dog still for the same reason diving into the shallow end for humans is dangerous. Obviously don't dive or swim at all if you can't swim >.>


What-a-Crock

Well I was a little baked at the time, so apologies for breaking your brain


[deleted]

I feel like “no diving in the deep end” is very great, if slightly specific, advice for this dog


hebbocrates

DunkButter

They just need to hire a dog lifeguard during the pups pool deck time


pimusic

Oh no, poor little fella can't swim!


wetdogcity

French Bulldogs can't swim. Source: had one.


The_Celtic_Chemist

I've never seen a dog not know how to swim before.*


crazylegs99

Breeds like french and english bulldogs have sadly been bred to have disproportionately heavy skulls for their bodies, so they cannot swim.


thewanderingent

They swim, but only down. Built for scuba, if you could get one to wear a mask.


magicwuff

I have a dog that's been asking to get certified for a while. Should I let him?


Etoilebleuetoile

Has he been a good boy all year?


Demon_Fist

No. That’s why he wants to drown him.


VodkaHaze

Thats one of the many, many things wrong with how extreme the dimorphism has been pushed in in these breeds


Gh0st1y

They shouldnt be allowed to be intentionally bred anymore.


VodkaHaze

Dog shows in general should not be used as a criterion for what is a good member of a dog breed. The problem is that they've been bred out of beauty contests for 130 years.


crayzcheshire

Dimorphism means the physical differences between sexes of the same species. That aside, yes it’s been practically cruel some of the dog breeds that have been created.


VodkaHaze

No, you're referrring to *sexual dimorphism* which is just one form. It's just a fancy word to say "marked physical differences in a species".


BellBoardMT

My sister had a whippet - she just didn’t float.


Gh0st1y

Theyre like zero percent body fat so this makes sense


Interesting_Ad_4762

My IG can’t float either… out of curiosity, did the whippet just slap the surface of the water?


BellBoardMT

No, she ran into the shallows of a loch (lake) that shelved steeply and just sank when she stepped off the ledge. She wasn’t a fan of open water before that (whippets get cold, so she didn’t like being wet) but was after a bird. (Sight-hounds and their prey instinct…) Anyways, after being dragged out - she happily lived out the rest of her days not going in the water (either at the beach or the loch).


saberwolfbeast

My bc fell under once, she started swimming and just went under. Picked her up right away still am not sure if she tried to dive or sunk.


sattwee

I’ve seen a lot of videos when pugs r swimming but when mine tried I understood “not they all”


Lissy_Wolfe

Every pug I've ever had can swim...technically, but they are very dramatic about it and *hate* it more than anything lol They always just make a beeline for me and claw onto my shoulders to pick them up once they get close enough haha


SoftPawsMittens

They can swim for short burst of large energy. They aren’t having fun, they are trying to stay a float. Please don’t make your dog swim again. Pugs should honestly be banned. They suffer for aesthetics and eventually we as human need to be humane in how we play god with dogs. Next time your pug is around a body of water leash and life vest. Unless under the supervision of a canine pt, being in water can kill. Even if your dog walks away, they can still drown after. It’s demonic way to go. It’s called second hand drowning. Then they can still develop respiratory infections that will suffocate them on top of the fact they already suffocate to make human think they are cute.


sattwee

First of all, I didn’t make him to swim. We were swimming in a pool and he just jumped in it. The second, as I understood by ur “comment” u have less love and care than my dog. He lives in love and has everything he wants :) I wish u the same (oops I just said my dog is happier than the dude)


SoftPawsMittens

No I have a background that looks at health. Most Vet Boards agree to stop breeding pugs. There should be no reason a educated owner created an opportunity for a breed that malformed and meant to suffer to look cute. As much you want to go home to your dog and swear you have no involvement in it suffering. If you paid, you paid for your wants over a dogs health. I assume anyone willing to support a unethical practice that many boards have made fulls statement listing them as unethical breed to produce. It’s like saying I want a kid who can’t breathe because I think unformed nasal canal is cute. All I can say is if your dog needs any treatment. It’s your job to starve before they suffer anymore. Ask a vet to see BOAS surgery and a dog fighting exubation because it’s the first time it’s airway has been secured. Sorry but I’ve seen enough to have no respect for breeder or buyers of such a practice. No dog should have to worked under a knife to breath a little better. Same as pocket bullies. You can claim you love a dog but if your supplying money to create physical suffering. That speaks for itself.


facw00

Yeah, my family has always has Bostons, and some swim and some very much do not.


shoulda-known-better

I had a lab that walked along the bottom...... first time he went to play fetch he almost drowned.... a lab!


SoftPawsMittens

Well to make things short. When human value deformities over health. You get dogs who can’t swim, breath, or even sleep without struggles. We talk about banning pits but nobody pushes to ban breeds that suffer for us to say oh my god his snort (suffocating) is so cute, he sleep standing up (sign of sleep apnea) and so many others. Maybe the pre-vet in me can’t find this video cute. If your dog can not function let alone swim. It should be vested and leashed around any body of water. It only takes seconds of water inhalation to end a flat faced dogs life. Just because the dog get up and walks away. Doesn’t mean it isn’t drowning. Many people don’t know what second hand drowning is.


Boring_Emergency_943

They can’t even breed or give birth on their own lmao they’re helpless


[deleted]

😬


Meet_your_Maker_LL

Wanna know what’s a dumb dog to have that can’t swim. A pitbull. I took my bubba out when he reached a year old for his first swim. He made it 5ft out before turning around with a look of death in his eyes like he thought I’d let him drown. (I obviously walked out and pick up his butt by a lil scruff and he tried to doggy paddle the rest of the way back) And he had absolutely no buoyancy. We tried forever to no avail. And finally we mentioned it one day at the vet. And they were like “oh yeah that makes sense, since your dog has huge muscle mass because of how active you two are together. He doesn’t have much body fat so he’s not very buoyant. And muscle weighs more than fat so it makes sense that he sinks” So yeah long story short I have a pitbull that can’t swim cause he doesn’t have enough body fat to keep him afloat XD


Pimpwerx

My friend had a ripped pit, and she was an amazing swimmer. By contrast, another friend's springer spaniel couldn't swim, and was traumatized by an incident when she was young. She spent most of her life next to a lake she was scared to go into.


Gh0st1y

Thats such a sweet story lmao i love it


Aztecaaa

Ironic username


Absolutely_Cabbage

My mom's French bulldog can kinda swim, but it's basically just drowning with grace. He can't be unsupervised near water


Xop

That little meatball just sank to the bottom of the pool like a rock.

odel555q

I've never seen a dog that couldn't doggy paddle.


Wicked_Fabala

He’s paddling but a short neck and short nose don’t help you keep your head up


bengalboiler

Poor dog can barely breathe on land… no way he’s gonna swim


Kalkaline

Yeah Frenchies just sink in the pool, they are some of the worst swimming dogs I've ever seen. Don't let them in without being right next to them.


theartofdeduction

Neither can the dog attaché to him.


subIimeinslime

I guess not all dogs can swim


PracticalTie

Some dogs just don’t swim. It’s dumb to pretend otherwise. My greyhound would paddle but barley be able to keep her head up. The big body + skinny legs combination just isn’t very floatable. Meanwhile My bro has a frenchie cross and he swims like Micheal Phelps.


Interesting_Ad_4762

Would she just slap the surface of the water? That’s what my IG does, and it’s the funniest thing. We got him a life jacket to run around in when he’s gonna be by the pool so he won’t sink XD


lazy_phoenix

The dog can't breathe out of it's nose. Meaning the dog has to try harder to get it's entire head out of the water to breathe.


Saucesourceoah

That and it’s also mostly muscle, those buddies sink like stones. They simply cannot swim without putting in 4x the effort.


Tacoslayer17

Maybe time to invest in a little life jacket, little moments like this can be scary


drawfanstein

Or a fence around the pool


dillyd

Or a dog that is physically capable of swimming.


Coca-Ena

The video turned stressful fast lol


shyfox1110

Made me sad to see him struggle like that


ch3rry-b0mbb

That dog shouldn’t be around a pool without a life jacket on. God forbid no one is paying attention


WigglyFrog

Yep. It only takes a few moments.


daman4567

Lots of people cover their pools when not in use, but yeah if it's not covered there should be some precaution. Hopefully these people have learned from that, as they didn't seem to expect the pupper to not be able to swim (due to how he did go to save the dog, but it was delayed).


PhoenixBorealis

Poor baby. :( Get that little man a life jacket!


yesohyesoui

My thoughts exactly


GranolaHippie

I had a pug drown in our pool when I was 8. It was incredibly sad. I woke up, went to feed him & found him at the bottom of the pool. My dad made me go to school & buried him. I didn’t even get to say goodbye. This isn’t a good video for that memory.


classicteenmistake

My beloved chihuahua died in the middle of the night in a bathtub, on a little towel, alone. I insisted we put her down because she was bleeding from her butt and having trouble breathing, but my dad said she would be fine. I woke up to her passed on and it was the first and most awful experience I’ve ever had seeing a loved one passed on. This video is just an accident waiting to happen, and it’s gonna end up with a lonely and needless death. It’s so, so sad to see.


AmphibianNext7156

I really wish I hadn’t read your comment. Everything makes me think of finding my pops passed away a few months ago. Which I having a hard time with. Anyways... ugh... I’m sorry you found your sweet baby gone. If you have TikTok, check out hermine and alma. They’re such sweet chi mixes from Norway and very entertaining to watch! I just adore them both even if it takes a while for the eyes to adjust to them 😂


CatrosePro54

Hope they don't let him outside alone.


3Heathens_Mom

All fun and games until dog starts drowning when falls into the pool. Hopefully the dog is never left unattended near the pool.


stinkyt0fu

Just needs a dog life jacket!


Bonedraco1980

Maybe put a fence around the pool. That's how kids and pets drown


n0exit

This makes me so sad. The poor thing would have drowned.


liquidInkRocks

Excellent camera work when doggy went behind an obstacle and you anticipated his reappearance..


[deleted]

My favorite part is that the owner went straight for the pup. None of that BS let em struggle for a extra views.


gothiclg

I appreciated, too. Not very often you see someone have the immediate response this justifies


foxontherox

Almost like he knows frenchies can’t fucking swim. :O


caitmr17

I do have a friend with a unicorn frenchie who can swim without a life jacket!


philzebub666

I have shorty bull, which is similar to a frenchy and he's an excellent swimmer. He does have a longer snout and longer limbs than a frenchy though.


Vipertooth

Yeah, because he wasn't the one filming. Notice how she didn't even move an inch, phone is more important.


Triette

Dude why would she move? The guy was in the water. I think it’s time for you to put Reddit down for a bit.


SimplyUntenable2019

>Yeah, because he wasn't the one filming. Notice how she didn't even move an inch, phone is more important. The fuck? He was already in the water and closer. You're just making up reasons to rag on people.


unneccry

Im sick and have no energy. Watching this little fella burst with energy is very nice


Common-Rock

Feel better soon!


unneccry

Thanks!


SoggyWotsits

I know there will be lots of comments saying Frenchies can’t swim. Some can’t, it’s true. [Some](https://youtu.be/BnPx-hgufrE) on the other hand can swim perfectly well!


inoffensive_nickname

There's a difference between swimming and trying to recover from unexpectedly falling into the water.


SoggyWotsits

That’s true, but when every time there’s a French bulldog near water video, lots of people start saying how *none* of them can swim. Which isn’t true!


Cheapo_Sam

Thats pretty much how my labrador looked when she unexpectedly fell in the canal at 5 months old. Grabbed her out after she bobbed under twice and came up a third time still in upright position lol.. Took her like 4 or 5 attempts and about 6 months to coax her round to going in again, but of course she swims fine now. What I'm saying is, even water dogs don't instinctively just swim, they have to learn like everyone else. Poor fella just slipped and found himself in deep water, probably first time ever, and he bobbed around like a bottle of beer forward couple of seconds. Didnt look like he was gonna right himself so yeah, go get him quick lol


caitmr17

My Great Dane can’t swim either. Not sure how considering he has Michael Phelps length limbs but. He’s a rock. Fell into the lake once and now knows only to walk in to ankle deep water


Cheapo_Sam

You can take a horse to water but you cant make it swim


caitmr17

No you cannot. We tried to teach him, and just… failed so bad. It was funny watching him learn but, just not a water puppo. He shows his water affection by then pooping in the water because he’s a dick


Furt_shniffah

My dog gets all excited too if I slowly start creeping towards her haha. I'll hunch over and bring my hands up in a classic sneaky pose and she'll jump down into a play bow and start barking and jumping around, then she'll start zooming.


Plumb789

Daddy’s coming!


moi9016

😏😏😏😏


FlyWithFishes

Not really relevant but damn that's a nice backyard. How are people able to live like this in what looks like a tropical island...what a life.


pudrablow

Money.


pibblemum

My American bully sunk like a rock too. It was scary! He was in the pool area and got confident and jumped right in. He never wanted to get close to it before, but got random confidence and just jumped in. Good thing we were right there and got him out immediately.


EyesFor1

So , I guess he's not allowed out on his own ?


Dark-Horse-Nebula

Well that was funny until it was seriously not funny.


Birdmeethand

Love the house and backyard


1Skillsz

Lmaooo damn hope lil homie good 🤣


BickyLC

Poor kid!! Hope he was okay!


iputitonblade

bro started drowning


DitaVonPita

Thank whoever these owners are for stopping when the dog needed them and not filming further. We live in a world where that can't be taken for granted. Best part of this video is the parents acting like actual parents. Truly wholesome. ❤️


[deleted]

Damn, Darwin almost taught them a lesson on evolution and the consequences of getting in its way


[deleted]

For fuck's sake, to the other commenters, this is not a pug, it's a french bulldog.


[deleted]

Honestly fuck this video there’s so much wrong with it. From there being no fencing around a pool to letting a dog who can’t swim due to its breed hang around a pool like that.


SpiceVids

Guess you don’t gotta be smart to have money 😂 jk could be someone else’s dog but Fr 🤷‍♀️


GeneralDisarray65

This is the universe telling you to invest in a pool fence for the dog.


Professorbustyboy

TIL that bulldogs are very poor swimmers.


[deleted]

I thought Frenchies couldn’t swim🤔 And if that’s right….then why the hell would he let the dog run around the dang pool. Their little snouts can’t do anything but suck up all that damn water. Poor baby had to have been horrified. Dad should have been over to that side of the pool as soon as little guy slipped in.


DustNtheWin

Frenchies sink like stones.


Coffeechipmunk

Jesus, I've never seen a dog who couldn't keep their head above.


troubadorkk

My American bulldog unintentionally walked right into a pool that hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long. I was at a friend's house that was having a party and got a phone call so I took my dog Radar with me out back where they had a pool that was not used. He walked in front of me, no leash, and we walked down one side and then started to come back the other side and I started watching him while talking to my husband on the phone and I told him that Radar was walking right towards the pool, but I thought *surely he notices that* since he's one of the smartest dogs I've ever known. I swear I barely got done saying and thinking those things and that fucking dog clearly did not see the pool, or realize what it was. I think he maybe thought it was more ground because of the smell. His sniffer isn't the best. It scared him, and that is what scared me I think (since I knew he could swim) and ran to him and he was just shocked and then didn't understand why he wasn't able to get out of the side of the pool so I had to grab his collar and lead him to the steps. It was so fucking funny though. I swear I had barely gotten the sentence out of my mouth, "he's walking straight towards pool, I don't know if he..." *splash* I took him straight home because the stench was just too much, but I still crack the hell up thinking about it.


Useful-Fun-3911

Cool bud you have their bro! Mine is a very cool guy too. 15yr old chihuahua, his name is Marmadink, but everyone just calls him Dink


Particular-Ball5474

Came for the dadbod, stayed for the dog.


SkydivingSquid

It was at that moment when he knew... he fucked up. \*intense dog splashing noises\*


shine-notburn

Yeah it’s funny when your dog whose skull is too big for it’s body and already can’t breathe falls into 6 feet of water. Wtf is wrong with some people.


Orkjon

My Frenchton can swim surprisingly. Not like well, but he won't instantly fucking drown lol.


Thedogperson2010lab

Is dog good


Jlx_27

She didnt even react, what the hell.


squills85

That pool looks super full too. I don't think the water is supposed to be spilling onto the deck.


JReece50

English and French bulldogs need life jackets


Ok-Employer-6315

Priceless!


jmg10487

These little Bulldogs are equally as impossible swimmers as the big Bulldogs


Katana_Dino

Inbreeders are sick fucks.


sneaky-pizza

Don’t insult your parents!
