Does your dog like to swim? Many dog breeds love to splash around, while others are a bit more hesitant about jumping into bodies of water. Grizzly is an American bulldog who isn’t so sure about jumping in the family pool, even with his lifejacket on, and makes sure his mom knows he’s afraid in this video his mom shared on TikTok recently.
Make sure your sound is on so you can hear Grizzly’s protests as he argues with his mom about getting in the pool without her. And watch until the end to see if he finally gets up the courage to go without her or if he waits for her to join him.
@grizzly_717 🦈💦 SHARK ALERT! Grizzly’s turning the pool into his own ocean — rocking his new shark fin life jacket like the baddest bully on the block. 🐾🌊 You can get the shark vest at https://amzn.to/4nxi5V6 #AmericanBully #BullyLife #SharkDog #DogLifeJacket #PoolDog #DogSwimming #DogsofTikTok #SummerVibes #FunnyDogs #BullyLove #RescueDog #GoodBoy #SharkAttack #PuppyPersonality #PetTok #SwimmingDog #eastcoastsummer #bully #bullyxl #bullybreed #americanbullypuppy #americanbullyxI #abkcworldwide #xlbully #bullylife #abkc #abkcstrong #adGrizzlyapproved I earn commissions on these links
Grizzly put on his big boy pants (or swim trunks, rather) and did it! I bet once he finally made the decision to jump in, his family couldn’t get him to get out of the water!

While Grizzly seemed fine once he got in the water, it’s a good reminder for anyone with a pool and a furry friend: even if your pet is wearing a life jacket, it’s important to keep a close eye on them the entire time they’re swimming. Watch for signs of fatigue and take them out for breaks as needed. Make sure they have access to fresh drinking water, and when they get out of the pool, dry their ears thoroughly to help prevent ear infections.
