Privacy is a concept Oakley has yet to fully grasp, especially when it involves his favorite person and a running faucet. While his dad was just trying to have a normal morning scrub, this adorable rescue dog from @ourboyoaks decided the shower curtain was never really a boundary. In a hilarious video capturing the moment, Oakley perches awkwardly on the tub’s edge, desperate to be part of the action. It seems the separation anxiety mentioned in one of his other videos makes him the ultimate shadow. Even when things get a bit damp.
Rescue dog peeks behind curtain to join dad mid-shower in video
The video opens with Oakley balanced precariously on the rim of the bathtub while the water is still running. You can only see his back and his tail hanging as he looks beyond the curtain at his dad. His mom, filming from the bathroom floor, cannot contain her laughter at the sheer awkwardness of the situation. Meanwhile, Dad is heard warning him that he might fall, jokingly telling the pup not to blame him if he gets soaked. Oakley, ever the optimist, stays pinned to his spot.
This is not the first time Oakley has crashed a shower session. His feed reveals he once leaped into the tub during a fireworks display to find comfort with his dad. It is a common trait for a rescue dog to seek out their “safe person” during moments of stress or curiosity. Given his background, he likely views a closed curtain as an unnecessary barrier between him and the man who carries him through the swimming pool.
There’s some Golden Retriever in his blood, and that loyalty shines through his clingy behavior. Even if it leads to some soggy floors. When a rescue pup has found their forever home and forever human, good luck separating them.
That clip has already garnered over 8,000 likes from people who completely understand the struggle. Viewers are joking that Oakley was probably just trying to act as a lifeguard for his dad. Others think he was just hoping for a free back scrub while the water was still running. Either way, Oakley’s behavior is too funny.
