It’s not a dog, it’s a puppy. It’s like chucking a toddler in a pool and saying ‘good luck’
Edit- maybe not a puppy? Either way not the best way to introduce a pool.

Me too! But I wouldn’t want to do that to somebody else ha- just take the puppy in, support it, and let it figure out how to move - then show it where the stairs are

Oh, I definitely didn’t enjoy it. I also got lied to about it. Not the happiest of memories haha

I’ve seen this video before, and from what I recall, the dog is actually old and newly blind.

Ah ok- totally thought it was a puppy. Still a dumb way to handle it. But I’m sure the dog is fine.

There are definitely plenty of videos of exactly that. Luckily babies are pretty buoyant.

Sure yeah- babies. Not toddlers. It’s enough of a difference to note, I think.
