A yellow Labrador retriever from New York City has left internet users in stitches with his shenanigans at a pool party in a video that has quickly gone viral on social media.

The viral clip, shared on TikTok on Wednesday under the username @extracrispynyc, shows the pup approaching the pool as he decides who will be the person he will jump on first, before throwing himself at his owner filming the clip.

"My lab jumps on everyone at the pool," reads layover text on the clip, followed by a caption that adds: "Maybe say sit."

Labrador retrievers are known for their love of the water, and they can never have enough. However, not all dogs like water; in fact, some will do anything to avoid it. But what makes these pups so afraid?

Dog wellness experts Rover say that, if your dog's only experience with water is during bath time, they may not like it in other scenarios. And if they have never seen anything bigger than a tub, the unfamiliar situation of larger bodies of water may also overwhelm them.

However, your pup's aversion to water could just be part of its personality. "Some dogs are more anxious, period, and others aren't inclined to take risks like diving into a suspicious new substance," the Rover pet resource website added.

But what can you do to help your pup overcome this fear? The first step is to take it slow and avoid forcing it upon your dog. You can bribe him with treats. It is essential to start in calm waters so they are less frightened.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 40.1 million views and more than 8.3 million likes on the platform.

One user, Paduwon, commented: "The fact she switch targets to the camera man."

Fml posted: "She looked up like 'oh you want me to sit huh?!"

Monserrat.margritz added: "I saw her make the decision in her eyes long before they realized."

Another user, kenzie, wrote: "She was thinking about stopping until the other one spoke up."

Aunt Dollface added: "I can't stop watching and I swear it's getting funnier and funnier each time."
