You know you picked a good daycare for your golden retriever when the pooch refuses to leave! In a hilarious video on social media, a dog owner captured footage of their four-legged friend trying to get in some more playtime before going home. Although it was probably a little exasperating for the employees, it’s still pretty funny to see this clever pup trying to evade the leash. Plus, in his defense, the daycare has a pool.
In the clip, the dog was enjoying the water when one of the workers approached him with a leash. Knowing that this meant it was time to leave the daycare, the golden retriever swam toward the middle of the pool where he couldn’t be reached. He continued to paddle along at a leisurely pace, soaking up his last few moments of pool time while he could. Then, finally, he returned to the edge of the pool and allowed another employee to put the leash on him.
“When you pick your dog up from daycare and you catch him dodging the workers cause he doesn’t want to leave,” the owner wrote over the footage.
To be fair, that looks like a great pool.
Commenters loved the golden retriever’s silly antics as he tried to stay in the daycare pool for as long as possible. Many were impressed by this facility’s amenities for dogs!
“I’m obsessed with the fact the daycare has a pool,” one person wrote.
“Geez, I want to go to this dog camp,” said another.
According to one user, it’s pretty common to see golden retrievers lingering in the daycare pool.
“As a dog daycare worker with a small pool… the goldens and the labs NEVER want to leave,” they wrote.
We’re glad this pooch decided to go home with his owner in the end. After all, the pool will still be there next time!
