Internet - A dog owner gave her four-legged friend a life jacket so that he could frolic safely in the water - but the dog found his own, cleverer solution to stay dry.

Many dogs have a great passion for water, but not everyone shares this enthusiasm.

One particularly clever furry friend called Ruby is a prime example of this. While other four-legged friends happily frolic through puddles and lakes, Ruby seems to go out of her way to avoid swimming - and does so in an extremely creative way.

As she is much smaller than her friend, the American bulldog Moose, who marches through the water with ease, Ruby has found an ingenious solution to stay dry: she simply sits on her bigger buddy's back.

That way, she doesn't get her paws wet, while Moose carries on unperturbed.

The pair's TikTok video went viral and has now racked up over a million views. Viewers celebrate the funny relationship between the two dogs.

The humorous text in the video sums it up: "If your life jacket isn't enough, you have to use your brother as a swimming aid."
