Koda is about to get the best surprise of his life — robotic fish. The Toy Australian Shepherd has a long-standing love affair with hoses, and his humans at @chaoswithkoda decided to raise the bar for his pool days.
In this now-viral Instagram video, we see him vibrating with excitement as the hose fills his pool. His mom, Keelie, teases, “You wanna get it?” and Koda squeals in response, paws bouncing off the ground. By the time the water’s spraying everywhere — including on Keelie’s face — Koda’s already living his “best day ever.” And it’s about to get even better.

The chaotic and joyful clip is making huge waves online, quickly swimming to over 302,000 likes. It opens with him doing his signature happy spins as the hose gushes water into his kiddie pool. Keelie quickly adjusts the nozzle, and Koda dives right in, slapping at the water like a kid on summer break.
Then comes the big reveal. Keelie turns to the camera with a grin — “You said Koda needed pool toys, so…” — and unveils two robotic fish, one orange and one blue. The second their tails start flapping, Koda loses it. He jumps, yelps, and tries to nip at them before they even hit the water. When they finally swim, Koda splashes in and scoops one up in his mouth, darting out like he’s just caught dinner.
His parents laugh, cheering him on as he returns to the pool to first paw at them and then “peck” at the fish like chickens. Seeing him react like that is hilarious. His mom laughs and tells the camera, “I think these are a hit, I think he loves them.” Viewers agreed — one commented, “He’s good at fishing,” while another wrote, “This video made my day.” The clip ends with Koda confirming his joy by giving his mom two high-fives with both paws.
