The video posted by @drakethepupstar quickly went viral and now has over 2.1 million views. Drake, the golden retriever, appears to love swimming in the ocean and swims underwater to get a stick and floats around for fun before getting out of the water.

“I think my golden retriever was a fish in his previous life,” the user wrote on the video.

Many users praised Drake for his swimming abilities and compared him to other types of fish and creatures that he could possibly be related to.

One user wrote: “Goldfish 😍”

Another added: “no, thats a golden seal retriver 🥰😂”

Swimming is a great form of exercise that is gentle on dogs’ joints. It helps to cool them down in hot weather and can be a fun way for them to release energy and engage their senses.
