When it’s hot outside, you want to go swimming, right? We all remember what it’s like to be young, when Mom or Dad exercise their seemingly ridiculous rules and all you want to do is get in the pool!
Well, it wasn’t much different for this Great Dane, whose owner told him he wasn’t allowed to swim with his jacket on. Max the Great Dane, the star of the show, was deaf, but you'd be forgiven for believing he could hear everything his owner said! We invite you to watch and giggle as Max has a full-blown “conversation” with his owner.
He’s letting his owner know, in no uncertain terms, exactly what he thinks of her poolside prohibitions! Quite frankly, it’s hilarious, although we can’t help but wish someone would help him take the jacket off so that the huge (and probably hot) pup could take a cool dip in the pool!
It’s unclear from the video exactly why Max is wearing a jacket. Perhaps he had endured veterinary treatment and his front legs needed to be covered. Or, perhaps he had just emerged from an air-conditioned room where he was liable to get chilly. Needless to say, Max wants out of that jacket and into the pool, pronto!

“They are not the most natural,” the pet site continued, speaking of the Great Dane’s swimming style. Knowing that, we can’t help but imagine a second video of Max getting in the water might have been even funnier than the first!
What a wonderful way to remember a beautiful and beloved dog in all of his guises. And if ever he is missed, laughter is the very best medicine.
Do you know any pups who try the “Max moan” every time they want something they can’t have? Share this video with anybody you know who lives with an argumentative dog; we’re sure they will find this relatable!
