Holiday prep usually goes one of two ways: incredibly organized or incredibly chaotic. And this one (involving a dog) definitely did not involve a plan sticking. In this pool video shared by @bustersworld4, Buster Henry makes it very clear which side he’s on. His mom spent the morning pulling out Christmas sweaters, lining them up, and getting everyone festive. The Labrador spent roughly half a second acknowledging that effort before cannonballing straight into the pool — sweater and all. Staying dry was never really part of Buster’s plan, no matter what month it is.

When the clip opens, we see Buster already floating in the pool, barking back as his mom tells him to get out. He does not get out. He just keeps paddling around, barking the whole time. Then we rewind to see how this mess began. Buster stands at the pool’s edge, clearly debating whether he should or not. His mom clocks it instantly. “Nuh-uh! Come on!” she warns. His back legs twitch. He hesitates — barely — and then launches anyway, ignoring a chorus of “Hey! No!” like they’re background noise.
Things spiral pretty quickly after that. Scooby and Purdy sprint to the other side of the pool, and Scooby dives in too, because apparently, rules don’t apply today. Mom tries damage control with a pool rake, urging Buster toward the steps. He swims away instead. Naturally.
At one point, he’s back on the tiles, completely drenched, water pouring off that sweater. He looks entirely unbothered. His mom tries to herd him inside, repeating his name with increasing urgency, until she finally grabs the sweater to physically stop another jump. Buster responds with a full-body shake, soaking everything within range.
You think it’s done — and then he strolls back over and jumps in like nothing just happened. From the water, he barks his replies while his mom declares him officially naughty-list material and asks what he’s supposed to wear to see Santa now. The 59K likes tell you that viewers were obsessed. Commenters all seemed to land on the same conclusion — yelling only encourages him.
