A golden retriever named Duke became the star of a video that’s making waves online.
His gentle refusal to get out of the pool has won over the hearts of millions, showing us all how much fun summer can be.
A Surprise in the Morning
Kimberly Clark, his human, shared a video of Duke completely at ease in the family pool early in the morning.
The peaceful scene is clear as Duke rests his head on the pool’s edge, looking out as the day begins.
Not Getting Out of the Pool
“You are not supposed to be in the pool,” we hear Clark say, with a laugh in her voice that any pet owner would recognize.
But Duke’s slow move away from her says it all; the pool is his happy place, and he’s not ready to leave it just yet.
Playtime Pleas
While Duke seems to understand that his pool time is up, his yearning for play isn’t over.
His eyes flicker towards his favorite ball, a silent plea for just a few more minutes of fun.
Clark refused to fetch the ball for him, saying, “I’m not getting your ball for you.”
So, like a child reluctant to end playtime, Duke slowly drifts to the center of the pool and shakes his head to show he doesn’t want to get out yet.
