Every dog is different. Some are total couch potatoes, while others are ready to travel anywhere, anytime. But what about a dog who enjoys traveling by jet ski? Well, you're in luck because the internet's been blessed with actual footage from just that kind of lakeside adventure. Trust us, this Rottweiler's obsession with riding a jet ski is adorable and hilarious at the same time.
Your eyes are not fooling you: that really is a Rottweiler on a jet ski, and he's having a blast. In fact, according to an X post by ABC News, he gets "quite upset" with his owner if he can't enjoy his daily jet ski ride. This fido and his owner live in Clallam County, Washington, known for fairly cool weather throughout the year, so no worries about summer heat distracting from this good time.
Named Rainier, this pup is definitely a pro — usually with his owner helping out by sitting behind him or on the front of the vehicle. Once he finds his footing, Rainier's relaxed and confident body language shows he's having the time of his life.

Which dog breeds are better swimmers?
That Rottie is pretty skilled at watersports and clearly loves the water. However, it may surprise you that Rottweilers aren't necessarily natural swimmers. They require a bit more positive reinforcement training to learn to love the nautical life. So, which dog breeds are natural swimmers, and how can you help not-so-great swimmers love the water?
The more obvious aquatic dog breeds are those with "water" in the name (see: the Portuguese water dog or Irish water spaniel). But it helps to note that these breeds share similar traits to other water-loving breeds like Chesapeake Bay retrievers and Newfoundlands. Each of these canines was specifically bred for water-related tasks like boat work and water rescue, and they have especially water-resistant coats and webbed feet that help make them strong swimmers.
Brachycephalic breeds, known for their flat faces and stubbier bodies, are far less likely to have an easy time swimming. The good news is that dogs who fundamentally don't understand how water works can learn. Regardless of breed, it's best to swim train in shallow water and make sure your pupper always wears a safe and well-fitting life jacket. Then one day, you might be able to graduate to jet skis!
