Is there anything better than a dog (or several dogs) and a sunny day? They just go together, making the season brighter and a whole lot more fun. In this adorable Instagram video, a pack of four pups — Myles, Willow, Finn, and Ember — show that the simple things, like a day at the lake, feel absolutely magical when you share them with family.
Dachshunds can be both bold and stubborn, which makes them hilarious little adventurers. This crew shows off that side perfectly. From paddleboard lounging to a fearless leap into the water, the whole video feels like a postcard of summer joy.
Dachshund pack enjoys time at the lake their own way in video
The video begins with the four pups perched on a paddleboard with their dad, drifting peacefully across the lake. Their other parent films nearby on a second board, capturing the picture-perfect scene. The dogs’ ears flap in the wind as they enjoy the ride, but Finn, the brave one in front, steps forward and makes his move.
When the two paddleboards come together, Finn hops from one to the other like a pro. He knows the drill. His human tosses a toy into the water, and Finn launches immediately after it. Even while swimming, his tail doesn’t stop wagging. He snatches the toy and heads back, where his dad lifts him safely onto the board by his little shark life jacket. Finn settles in, happily chewing on his reward, while the others sit steady, looking like little lake captains, owners of the water body.
At one point, one of the pups wanders over to see how Finn is doing after his big swim. After a quick check-in, they shuffle right back to their spot on the board, as if to say, ‘Okay, you’re good — carry on.’ The video wraps with the family paddling out of frame, sunlight bouncing off the water around them.
With more than 5k likes, viewers adored the calm, happy vibes. One fan called them “the cutest Lake Weenie Sharks,” referring to their cute life jackets. While another wrote simply, “Best life ever!!!”
