Viral Video Captures Just About How Much More Graceful Corgis Are Than Golden Retrievers When It Comes to Water Slides

Who doesn't love pool time? We all remember how important it was to make friends with someone who had a pool by at least springtime when we were kids, or else we would miss out on some ridiculously fun times come summertime. Perhaps one of the best things about growing up and starting your own family is that you can decide to be that cool house on the block with the fun pool parties. And if kids aren't your vibe, we can promise you your doggos will be equally as grateful for your choice to do so.

There are definitely some clear scientific reasons that so many dogs love water and swimming, which probably has something to do with what they were bred to do, but whatever the reason may be, we'll take it! As long as it means we get to watch them looking about as happy as ever during their summer pool days.

One TikTok content creator has a little corgi and golden retriever and noticed something peculiar about how they conduct themselves inside and outside of the pool. Corgis are known to be pretty goofy and always look a little silly. They aren't exactly known for being nimble or reactive, yet for whatever reason, this one is an absolute PRO at going down pool slide. And then golden retrievers are known to be a bit more sharp and competitive, yet this one does not exactly emulate those characteristics at the pool.

Okay okay, you really ought to see for yourselves.

Let's Watch

The silly video was posted by @maui_thegoldenpup and Ruby is the cutie corgi. This video has over 4 million views and people are very involved in the comment section.

Let's take a look:

Love how the corgi pops the tail for extra height and distance, like ollying on a skateboard

Goldens are such dramatic babies I love them

Corgi: my moment has arrived! Golden: NEVER. AGAIN.

Maui: “it seems I’ve flown a bit to close to the sun” 😂

The way corgi tries to propel with that little head thrust 😭😭😭😭😭

In case anyone wants to triple-check - no worries! Maui is just fine. Just a little embarrassed.
