If you’ve ever wondered what doggy heaven looks like, this is it.
Three seasons ago, one lifeguard had the genius idea to invite dog owners and their furry companions to the pool before it was drained at the end of the summer. The event is appropriately named The Doggy Paddle, which donates all proceeds to the Calgary Humane Society.
For the past three years, an outdoor pool in Calgary, Alberta CA, has been hosting The Doggy Paddle where dogs are invited to take a refreshing dip after the pool was closed to the public for the season.
“One of the guards said one day ‘Why don’t we do this at the end of the year?’ There’s no more people swimming in the pool. We’re just going to get rid of the water anyway, so it’s a great way to wrap up the summer,” Jennifer Zacharias, a guard at the pool, explained.
Last year the event raised around $800 for the Calgary Humane Society.
