A viral video has left people in stitches after a clever labradoodle figured out how to outsmart his family's attempts to block him from the pool.

The dog named Dug gained viral attention in a clip posted by his owner @karaduncan3 in a video with over 100,000 views.

In the clip, Dug can be seen already inside the pool, which is surrounded by a fence that seemed to be no problem for the dog, who was already relaxing in the water.

The text overlay simply said: "When he works out the fence," while footage showed Dug standing on his hind legs in the water, doing his best to look innocent.

After a few moments of standing tall and surveying his surroundings, Dug could no longer contain his excitement. He began to splash around in the water, clearly reveling in his success and enjoying an impromptu swim.

This isn't the first time that a dog has made his way into a pool for an unscheduled swim. Earlier this year, some owners put up a fence to stop their dog jumping into the pool and it hilariously backfired when he managed to wiggle himself through to the water.

In another case, an Australian shepherd dog was caught sneaking into the neighbors' pool for a good time. Luna's owner found out about her pet's antics when she got a call from the neighbor saying the dog was on the porch, and when she arrived, Luna was wet and relaxing on a chair.

After gaining viral attention on TikTok, dog lovers couldn't get enough of Dug's antics, sharing their reactions in the comments.

"I was not expecting him to be stood there like a human," said viewer Sophie. While another user, @madnailsxo, couldn't help but gush, "Look how happy he is!!"

The video even managed to win over some unexpected fans. A viewer named Pipe87 admitted, "I'm not a dog lover at all but that dog rocks!! Why can't all dogs be that happy with life?" It's clear that Dug's exuberance has struck a chord with viewers.

Labradoodles, a popular crossbreed between Labrador retrievers and poodles, are well-known for their affinity for water. A love of the wet stuff and swimming is a trait inherited from both parent breeds, while the crossbreed itself is often known for its playful, friendly, and affectionate nature.
