Waiting by the gate is torture for two dogs who know it is a picture-perfect day for a swim. Ken Fulk (@kenfulk) captured this sweet summer moment when his Golden Retrievers lost their minds over high tide. Salvator and Ciro do not even wait for their human to clear the path before racing down. They race each other across the deck and plunge right into the calm blue ocean waters together. Seeing this level of pure happiness makes it easy to understand why the clip is going viral.
Dogs have the best time swimming on a ‘picture perfect’ day
The footage starts with the furry duo hovering impatiently by the wooden doorway. It’s clear that summer means swim time for them. Meanwhile, one of them turns his head around to check what is taking his human so long. As the latch finally clicks open, the race is officially on.
Fur flies and tails wag wildly as they barrel past the deck area. They scramble down the stairs, leading straight into the sea. These natural-born retrievers hit the water with total glee.
One of them immediately swims ahead while looking back at the camera from the water. Then the video cuts to the pair paddling back with their favorite toys. They each grab a blue and red rubber disc and swim right back to the steps. Next, they climb up the stairs because they want their human to toss the toys again.
One pup does a massive full-body shake to get rid of the salty water. Overhead, the sky is a flawless shade of blue while the summer sun beats down. Additionally, the soothing sound of lapping water makes the entire scene feel like paradise.
This gorgeous setup grabbed over 39k likes in just a single day. People in the comments are completely obsessed with the lifestyle of these fortunate dogs. One hilarious viewer joked that their own pet just asked if they were poor. Another person loves the happy puppy sounds mixed with the original wave audio. Everyone agrees that seeing these angels swim on a picture-perfect morning brings pure joy.
