Golden Retriever Sneaks Into His Neighbor’s Pool and Has Best Swim Day Ever

A Golden Retriever was caught red handed sneaking into his neighbor's pool. We guess Zeppole really loves the water because he just couldn't wait for his owner to, ya' know, ask for permission to go in. So instead he did what he had to to cool down in the heat.

Zeppole is very cute, but stealth isn't exactly his strong suit. The dog was easily caught on camera trying to pull off the crime of the summer.

In the video his mama shared online, it shows the Golden Retriever making his big move.

"How did my dog get into the neighbor's pool now you ask?" the text overlay reads.

It was actually pretty simple. The dog walked up the stairs that lead to the pool and slipped right through their fence (which was closed using a rope). In fact, it was all almost too easy.

In a previous video that went viral with over 40 million views, it shows Zeppole once again breaking into the pool. This time, however, the dog had climbed over his own fence and merely walked down to where the pool was.

The Golden was obviously very determined to get some swim time in. And even when his mama came over to try and get him out, he refused to leave "like [the] toddler that he is," she teased in the first video.

"When one door closes… another one opens," she joked about the second break-in.

Commenters were cracking up over Zeppole's crafty moves. "Neighbor's video — 'this darn dog keeps getting in my pool,' your dog: *carefree,*" joked one person. "It’s him passing by the lake to go to their pool for me," someone else joked. "If this was my pool I would let him swim as much as he wants," a third commenter vowed.

Pool Safety for Dogs

While it might appear that dogs are natural born swimmers, it's still important to do a few things to ensure that they are safe in the water. Drowning is a serious threat.

When entering the pool for the first time, do a small swim test with your pup but stay nearby. You might want to keep your arms out or underneath the animal to catch them if they start sinking.

Some states require that you install a fence around your pool — and for good reason. A fence and an alarm will help stop your dog from jumping in the water when you aren't around.

And finally, you might want to learn how to do pet CPR. It might seem extreme, but if the worst were to happen you'll want to quickly know how to save your dog's life.

Luckily Zeppole seems like a natural in the water. But he does have to break his nasty habit of breaking and entering.
