Look behind you! Comic moment Hardy the corgi slides backwards into pool as he tries to pick up his frisbee
- Barbara Peto from Las Vegas, Nevada, filmed her dog Hardy fall into her pool
- The corgi was attempting to pick up a frisbee which was lying beside the pool
- As the dog walked backwards, it was unaware it was approaching the pool edge
This is the hilarious moment a corgi fell into a swimming pool while playing with a frisbee.
Barbara Peto from Las Vegas, Nevada was filming her dog, Hardy, dragging the frisbee backwards while attempting to pick up the plastic toy.
Hardy was unaware of the imminent peril he faced as he tried desperately to grapple with the circular flying object.
As he tumble’s backwards into the pool, Hardy looks over towards the frisbee in disbelief, before plopping into the water.

Peto filmed her dog even as he edged towards the pool
Moments later, Hardy realized the mistake he had made once he felt the water on his hind legs
Peto shared the video, which was shot in July 2021, on Facebook, where thousands of people have enjoyed the footage.
Most people who saw the video laughed at Hardy’s misfortune, however a minority criticised Peto for failing to warn her dog that he was facing a dunk in the pool.
According to Peto: ‘I saw my dog Hardy being fully immersed in playing with his frisbee around the pool not paying attention at all to his surroundings.
‘I saw the whole thing coming but I couldn’t help letting the prank go on.’
Peto later wrote on her Facebook page that Hardy was unharmed as a result of the mishap and that the corgi is a strong swimmer who enjoys playing in the pool.
Kristina Cameron commented: ‘One I saw where this was going, I was cackling. That face as the poor pupper realized that mistakes had been made!’
Sunny Deets wrote: ‘Did anyone appreciate the tiny smattering of pool splash back when his little loaf body plops in?’
Lisa Ellis claimed: ‘I want to send this pup a Frisbee with a hole in it. My corgi loved that kind and still wish I was taping the day she flipped it over her own head. She was so surprised and then proud of herself.’
Elisa Bechtel also wrote about the sound: ‘That little “kerploop” noise when they fall in. Sweet pup.’
Andrew Hartshorne looked through the video frame-by-frame and said: ‘That look of terror when butt hits water.’
As soon as Hardy hit the water, he began swimming to edge of the pool to return to dry land
Ryan Carter also noticed Hardy’s reaction: ‘That look of sheer terror once they realized they were going down is priceless.’
However, Lynn Ogden thought allowing the dog to fall into the pool was cruel.
She wrote: ‘Am I the only one who wants the owner to protect their corgi?
‘I just kept thinking if one of us were about to fall backwards into a pool we would want someone who loved us to warn us.’
