Silly Dog Refused To Get Out Of A Fountain, So His Human Stripped Down To His Underwear To Get The Dog Out
Bella is a happy and playful dog who loves water and won't pass up any opportunity to get herself wet, which is not unusual for dogs. However, Kane Baker, the dog's owner, can also confirm that she is not a big fan of following instructions.
A few days ago, Kane and his sister Tia took Bella for a walk in a park near their home in England. It was supposed to be just an easy stroll, but the dog didn't see it that way.
As they passed by a large, shallow fountain in the park, Bella ran away. The prospect of a swim was just too tempting for the silly dog.
"As you can see, Bella is having the time of her life," Baker told reporters about his delightful dog. "Whenever she sees water that she can play in, there's no stopping her."
The silly dog herself:
The Bakers enjoyed watching Bella have fun, of course. But the problem arose when their dog refused to leave the fountain. "We tried to entice her by pretending to throw her favorite toy. We also tried shouting her name and pretending to walk away to see if she would follow," Baker says. "But that didn't work."
Realizing that nothing else was effective, Baker understood that the only option was to go in and retrieve his dog. He then began to strip down to his underwear. "In all honesty, it was just sheer embarrassment," Baker admits. As if that wasn't embarrassing enough, a friend of Baker's happened to be there as he prepared to jump in. Fortunately for us, he captured the whole thing on video:
If you think it was strange that he immediately jumped into the fountain, there is a good explanation. "I had to do this once before when the same thing happened," Baker explains. "I had to go in after her, as she would not leave. We tried waiting it out to see what would happen, but she was enjoying herself way too much to just give up."
"He knew he had to do it again," Baker's sister told reporters. "I found it funny, mainly because I didn't have to go into that water." Baker loves Bella so much that he has no hard feelings about this at all.
"At the end of the day, everyone had a laugh," Baker says. "I think everyone needed that, particularly in times like these. For now, they will avoid parks that have fountains, but just in case they end up there again, Baker has a plan. "I'll try to convince someone else to go in to get her," he says. "But I'll bring a towel just in case."
