There’s something so special about watching a dog swim. As soon as the summer months ring in and the temperature begins to rise, our fur babies start looking forward to enjoying splashes in the pool. Some even love going for a dip in the sea, and surprisingly, they’re exceptionally good at water-related activities. This dog, a Labrador named Peggy, however, has an unusual way of swimming, and a viral Instagram video proved why it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Labrador using only front paws while swimming
A pet owner shared her dog’s one-of-a-kind swimming style in an Instagram video that has since gone viral. Our furry friends have a special place for playtime in their lives, especially when it involves a water body and lots of splash. Peggy, here, loves to explore the ocean but has a “unique swimmies style,” which her parents hilariously call the “two-wheel drive.” The subtext explained how people often point out the Labrador’s “weird” style.
Meanwhile, the video first showed what the dog looked like while swimming above the water. Peggy looked confident in her skills as she wandered around. The clips then transition to demonstrating her “two-wheel drive” technique, and it’s the cutest thing ever – instant heart warmer. The canine appeared to be swimming, quite professionally at that, by only using her two front paws while the two on the back remained tucked under.
The video was accompanied by multiple clips, flaunting her skills and a caption with a detailed explanation. In the text, the owner revealed that they had never noticed their pooch’s technique until about two years ago when they “bought a waterproof phone case.” Seemingly, using this, they recorded what she looked like swimming underneath water and haven’t gone back ever since. They even called her a “little labra-otter-fish.” Meanwhile, commenters called her a “cute swimmer” and claimed they loved it.
