Cute/Ridiculous Animal Thing Of The Day: Dog Diving (VIDEO)

First Posted: 9/24/09 Updated: 5/25/11

Once a year at Scott Carpenter Park in Boulder, CO, the rules are flipped and instead of enforcing a "no dogs allowed" policy, humans are banned from the pool!

According to the "Daily Camera," 30 or 40 dogs share the pool at a time. Watch their video below!

whew, not many things are as cute as this......­.the black dog who couldn't get enough and the one who wouldn't jump......­..and the one trying to get the toy to come to him at the side of the pool......­I LOVE DOGS!! Dog is God spelled backwards and they are VERY deserving of that name!

Give me a decent human and I think I'll come back as a dog.

If that dog finally did jump, it would have been a nice finale to the video.

Still, cute.

I'm sure there was a lot of fur in the pool filter.

I was sitting at my desk watching/l­istening to this video (loving every minute of it) and my yellow Lab, Sebastian was asleep under my desk. After a minute or two of hearing the sounds of dogs panting, dog collars twinkling, the sounds of splashes and the voices of "go get it" & "jump", my dog perked up and began to thump his tail. By the end of the video, he was all excited and ready to go for a swim. He'll have to wait until lunch time, but THANKS SO MUCH for this fun clip. I really loved it! :-)

You think that's funny? Take a look at this Jeanie Moos report --Anchorwo­man Licked to Death by Pit Bull Live on-air. HILARIOUS!­!!

I loved the dogs getting a day in the pool, wish there were something like this in Salem, Oregon. As to the reply about the videos, I get the same thing, sometimes there are only a few that will play, what is up with this?? By the by Huffpo is my home page, love it.

Here is yet another insidious example of species-is­m in our society. Why are cats not allowed? ;-)

I'm sure that cats would be allowed if this was something that they might be interested in! My late cat's favorite place to nap was a bathtub; she would stay there even after I stepped in to take a shower. However, once the water was turned on, she was out of there faster than the proverbial bat outta you-know-w­here!

Since last week, it was all cats in the "cute/ridi­culous animal videos" derby, it's only fair that dogs have their day!

Anyone know what you can find this under at You Tube? Sick and tired of videos not playing properly here on this website.

One of our local public pools does this at the end of the summer. Out two labs love it, and it is a chaotic blast, but one owrd of caution: show up early, becasue fairly quickly there are a great deal of "Baby Ruth" candy bars on the bottom of the pool. Let's just say my labs got thorough baths after all the fun.

That's just too cool.
