Owner Takes Video Of Maddie The Lab Trying To Stay Cool On Hot Summer Day

Sep 17, 2018

Charlie Ogard knew that his six-month-old Labrador retriever named Maddie was a very smart dog. He did not realize quite how smart, however, until she stole the water hose that Charlie was using to take care of his landscaping. Then, she drug the hose to a nearby kiddie pool and tried to fill it up for herself to enjoy on a hot day in California.

While she could never quite get comfortable with the way that the hose was positioned in the pool, she was definitely proving that she was one very determined dog.

Charlie says that he has had to change the name of the video several times because people complained that Maddie was wasting water.

Instead of complaining about the small amount of water wasted, use this hilarious video to remind yourself that you need to give your pets a way to stay cool on a hot summer day.

It is vital to help keep your pets cool when they are outside with you in the summer. Dogs should be allowed to get a cool drink of water at least every hour. And be sure to provide your dog with some fun water activities on a hot summer day.

Giving them ice packs and wet towels to lay on can help them stay cool. Dogs are cooler when they are outside than when they are in a dog house or a hot car, but try to bring them inside with you when summertime temperatures are at their highest.

If you have enjoyed watching Maddie try to fill the kiddie pool for herself, then think about a dog-loving friend who you would think would love to see this video. We would love to hear about how you keep your animal friends cool on a hot day.
