As people say, a dog’s behavior and character are dependent on its upbringing. That’s why it’s essential for us, dog parents, to teach them what’s right and wrong during their early years. However, there are some things that our fur babies learn on their own.
As we all know, our fur babies are brilliant, and it’s always lovely to see them do new tricks, especially those that they didn’t learn from us. In the viral video below, a Golden Retriever showed the world that she could learn new tricks without any assistance from her humans.
This talented pupper is Willow. The five-year-old pooch surprised her dog mom, Tanya Richards, when she stood up in their pool at their home in Perth, Western Australia.
Now, a doggo standing up on its hind legs isn’t exactly a mind-blowing sight. But Willow, however, was doing it for a prolonged time while in the swimming pool. It looked as if the pooch was behaving like a human who was just enjoying the cool water on a sunny day.
Tanya explained in an interview that Willow is absolutely obsessed with being in the water. Whenever the dog mom takes her fur baby swimming, the pooch would go nuts with excitement, and she’s usually the first one in the water.
The 53-year-old fur parent revealed that she did not teach her pup how to stand up in the pool, but rather, Willow taught herself. Whenever the pooch was in the water, she would stand up in front of the pool jet to get a nice massage. Since then, the pupper made it a habit to stand on her hind legs whenever she’s not swimming.
In the Youtube clip, we could hear Tanya exclaim that her pooch was just like a human, and we couldn’t agree more. Watch Willow stand up like a hooman in the video below.
