Not all dogs like water- especially when the water is green and from a dirty pool. When the owner throws a ball into the murky pool, this lab uses an unconventional method of retrieving the ball.

It doesn’t even get its tail wet!

The average dog would have either dived right in or simply given up, but not this intelligent one. Judging by the quickness of the way the dog handled the situation, I’d guess it has most likely done this trick before.

Most viral dog videos capture one-time moments that could never occur again. Though, for this one, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the owner purposely threw the ball in the pool to see the dog get it.

If I had a dog that clever I’d probably do the same thing.
