Corgi shows off his impressive doggy paddle – after struggling to get his little legs over the side of the pool
- Oliver, a six-year-old Corgi, adorably struggles to scoot his little legs into a pool
- Footage was filmed by owner Christell Eve at their home in Jakarta, Indonesia
- Eventually the persistent pooch manages to shuffle his body in for a cooling dip
This is the adorable moment a water-loving Corgi takes the plunge into his owner’s swimming pool after finally working out how to get his little legs over the ledge.
In the video six-year-old Oliver, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, is seen struggling to climb the step with his short legs as he desperately tries to jump in for a cooling dip.
Oliver perseveres, paddling his front paws in the water, as his owner Christell Eve encourages him to join her in the pool at her home in Jakarta, Indonesia.
After several minutes the Corgi’s wriggling eventually gains enough momentum for him to make it into the pool, enjoying a well-deserved doggy paddle in the heat.
Businesswoman Ms Eve, 29, captured the heartwarming moment Oliver was finally able to propel himself into the pool.
Ms Eve said: ‘Oliver is definitely smart! Instead of what most dogs would do – which is jump directly in the pool – this gentle loaf took an easier route.

‘He is the most loving and loyal dog. He is possessive and will protect me even from people living in my house.
‘He loves attention and to cuddle.I can definitely see some similarities within the both of us. He is my best friend.’
Whilst Corgis are well known for their stubby legs they are also very good swimmers and enjoy spending time in the water – a surprising trait considering their proportions.
