While many embrace winter’s cozy comforts, one Golden Retriever could not shake his love for summer. A now-viral video captures the touching moment the dog’s owners surprised him with an indoor swimming pool.
Owners rent indoor pool for dog heartbroken over closed home pool in winter
Tucker, a Golden Retriever with a penchant for swimming, found himself melancholic after the family pool was shuttered for the winter season. His owner, Courtney Budzyn, noticed her furry companion’s sorrowful gaze toward the covered backyard pool, day in and day out. Determined to lift Tucker’s spirits, she devised a plan to surprise him with a special treat.
Budzyn shared the touching video on her dog’s Instagram page, where the indoor pool surprise quickly went viral. The video begins with Tucker patiently sitting beside the covered pool, surrounded by the chill of snow and ice. His evident longing for a swim resonated with viewers who understood the anticipation of waiting for something beloved to return.
The heartwarming footage continues as Budzyn approaches Tucker with exciting news, telling him that it was his “lucky day,” and he gets to swim again. Tucker’s ears perk up, and his enthusiastic response to the invitation leaves no doubt about his joy.
To fulfill Tucker’s swimming dreams, Budzyn rented an indoor pool at Bubble Puppy Swim and Playhouse in Michigan, where Tucker could dive and play with his son, Todd, and Budzyn’s other Golden Retriever. The video captures the exuberant duo jumping out of the car and dashing into the pool area, their tails wagging in excitement. They leap into the water, fetch toys, and revel in the pleasure of swimming.
The wholesome clip has garnered widespread admiration, with many commenting on Budzyn’s thoughtful gesture. “This made my whole day and warmed my heart. Thank you for much needed smiles. What amazing parents you are,” one viewer commented. Another praised Budzyn’s dedication, stating, “What a good mama you are to those precious boys.”
