Pooch Plunge 2007
I love dogs and I enjoyed making the video above. It was a FUN event and I hope more people around the world start having similar events.

Chris ~ Another BRILLIANT video…great job!! You are good

That’s so cool!
That is an amazing idea. It would have been fun to take my dog to something like that, she loves swimming.
are the yellow tinged areas in the water what i think they are or is that a video compression issue?
you’d think the dogs were drinking mountaindew..
adorable.
The yellow areas are decorations on the bottom of the pool in the kid’s (shallow) section.
very cool..The yellow area’s are painted on the floor it seems
ugh.. i hope they cleaned that thing out afterwards.. so gross.
eugh, thats disgusting.
those dogg would stink after that and so would the water.
horrible.
For those of you that don’t read, it says the pool is drained after the dogs….duh
loved it. great job. thank you for filming.
Fué un gran dia, no lo olvidaré jamás, guauuuu
all the people in that video are so fat that they wear their shirts in the pool. It just looks pathetic. ATTENTION FAT PEOPLE: WEARING A SHIRT IN THE POOL ISNT GOING TO TRICK PEOPLE INTO THINKING YOU ARENT FAT
This is for all you people that had something to say about dogs having fun…What about when kids are swimming do you really think that they stop playing & say hey I have to go to the bathroom..let me get out?…I can’t stand people with their nasty comment’s..It just goe’s to show you that they are miserable people in life & their marriage !!!
Shut up
I think that Mike’s comment is very mean and he should probably take a look in the mirror and stop being so judgemental. He obviously is not an animal lover, because he totally missed the point.
@Mike
Gee… maybe some people wear shirts to protect themselves from getting sun burn?
we should do this in the Uk best idea ever, my yanky cocker would love it
Watching this was big blast. Mitzi,our young very energetic Bouvier girl would go totally nuts for a chance to join a party like this.
Hey, party poopers, the pool was going to be drained and cleaned anyway so it makes good sense for this water resource to have one last fun use.

The dogs would not stink because of the repeated
‘rinsings’ as the dogs jump in and out and swim around. The chemicals in the water would kill bacteria & thus the smell. The dogs do not smell; just like you, it is the bacteria, virus, yeast, fungus, molds, etc., that are on your body that smells as they release wastes.
Since there is more water to feed bacteria under your arms, there is more odor. Since there is urine, discharges and stool on the uro-genital areas, there is more bacteria and more chance for the yeast infection, urinary tract infection, and E.coli from the stool. Plus, those areas tend to stay moist as compared to armpits.
People urinate in the pool; it is a common joke. Stool material comes off the body into the water. This is why pools are treated with chemicals and the acid balance is so important; that and the above named icky critters.
This being said, I don’t care to swim in a pool where YOUR armpits, genitals, and rectal area has been.
I am more concerned that a dog might drink too much of the water & the chemicals involved.
MIKE ! . . . . . .
You are being mean and you know it. Come back and talk to us again when you are in the 40’s – 60’s.
It is a well known fact that obesity is epidemic in the U.S. and other countries.
I am not overweight in the least bit. I would to take my 2 dogs to the pool. I would wear a shirt or cover and maybe thin short-shorts to keep dog’s from pawing me with their nails.
Haven’t you ever heard of a wet t-shirt contest? Several of us dog-loving girls would have YOU drooling like a dog.
Only thing is, with the kind of comments you make, how would you get past the first date? Several of my friends are overweight. I would rather be overweight than have to quit cigarettes — it took me over a year. My friends gave me the greatest support while I was grouchy. So, what is YOUR bad habit or problem ? It’s obvious. Take some advice from Thumper in Bambi, ” If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
Maybe I’ll go out with you then and we can walk dogs, bicycle, water ski, ice skate, go to football games and movies, horseback ride, do some Jeep mud-slinging, go to dog shows & agility trials, white water raft, motorcycle ride to Sturgis, travel to beaches or mountains to swim, hike or snow ski, do photography and then sit by a roaring romantic fire.
Too bad you are so mean. I would not have you around my friends because you haven’t learned what a person’s worth is.
I enjoyed watching all the fun – lots of smiles !
Outstanding.
Ron Paul for President bump.
dont have a dog but loved watching dogs have fun and what a great way for them to cool off – maybe city shd have a pool in a dog park just for dogs -
What a way to start the morning! I could watch this video all day…it looked like a day at the Rainbow Bridge-joyful and love abounding!
im not a dog person (cats rocks) but this video is so happy.
happy to see that these dogs really enjoy in there.
This was the neatest thing I ever saw. I wish they would do something like this in Phoenix, AZ. What fun that would have been to be in the water with all those dogs. Keep up the good work. Hope some of the proceeds went to shelters in the area.
This was amazing!!!! How fun!!! Did anyone notice the corgi with 3 legs? What a great fundraiser for local shelters–might have to mention this to our local shelter. I have the feeling our town is too fuddy-duddy for something this fun… how sad…
I loved this…love seeing happy happy dogs that are so loved by their people. Thanks for this!!!
Gayle, what can I say? I love you. You took the time to write a detailed intelligent response to an utter moron. It will do no good to him, but thanks anyway. See you in the pool.
I’m glad many of you enjoy watching this. It was fun to be at. Hopefully the idea grows around the world!
This video, or at least parts of it, will be shown on CNN’s Headline News show “News to Me”. I was told it will close the show that is being made the weekend of August the 22nd. The show runs twice on Saturdays and twice on Sundays.
“News to Me” twice on Saturday the 22nd and twice on Sunday the 23rd. On both days the first show is 10:30 am MST, and the second show is at 3:30pm MST. (MST = Mountain Standard Time)
Also people were asked not to swim in the pool for “safety” reasons or what have you. But people did it anyway, cause it is fun and we do have an immune system naysayers. Have some fun! Also the “wet dog” smell was minimal. I talked to the maintenance man and he said that they lower the chemicals a bit for the dogs health, lower the water level a bit, and they use special filters they invented out of swamp cooler material that helps collect the dog hair.
What fun for ‘Water Dogs’. My dog would have loved to be around all the dogs, but would not have gone too far in the water. He’d very funny. Half Basset, half SpringerSpainiel, so he only goes in half way, and does NOT like to get his ears wet, he gets ear infections.
I mostly just wanted to say what a fun thing to whatch, and BOO to all the critical people who wrote in. Why couldn’t they just keep thier mouths’ shut?
Hey I’m a Chocolate Labbie Girl who loves to swim and I think this is way too much fun and I am telling mom that I want to come in 2008!!
This is outstanding! We are in Tampa. If Rin Tin Deo and I were in Ft. Collins we would be splashing.
This vid was so fun to watch so much smiling people and doggs… : )
I hope that this idea grows to more pools (also in Belgium)
This is one of those videos that you can just enjoy watching the smile on the dog’s faces. Who said animals don’t have personal feelings.
Loved the dog video, but appreciated the Ron Paul video even more. Well done. Will forward to me friends and family. Thanks.
I loved this! The dogs look like they’re having soooo much fun!
What a great thing to do!
Re: Pooch Plunge
Wonderful!! If only humans could get along with each other and have as much fun. I hope it catches on.
To all the hypochondriacs who commented….you must be miserable.
Yeah, I’m sure that was sanitary.
Was this intended to be a video for dog lovers to enjoy, or a shameless attempt at promoting your obvious choice for the 2008 presidential race? Regardless, any veterinarian will tell you that this scenario is extremely unhealthy for both dogs and people alike. Because you cannot trust that every single dog owner participating in this event has taken the responsibility of having their pets’ vaccinations as well as flea and heartworm meds, etc., up to date, you should never EVER submit your pets (and thus your family members) to an open community of animals, sharing what appears to be a cesspool of possible diseases. In response to your Ron Paul endorsement, I would prefer to see Paul win over either OsamaObama or Hitlery any election year!
The new public pool here in Madsion WI did the same thing last year on Labour Day weekend before closing for the year.
Great idea, lots of media exposure.
Great video and a great idea! To you folks who are concerned about the sanitation issue, I suggest you stay out of public pools altogether; there is no telling what kinds of diseases anonymous humans are carrying in places like that.
Mikey, Gayle has you pegged pretty well, dude. You obviously find it less painful to perceive what you consider shortcomings in other folks than to investigate and remedy your own. Until you learn that other people are not your problem you will continue to be a hopeless, whining loser.
And here’s to Ron Paul, perhaps the last hope for the restoration and survival of our Constitutional Republic. The Globalists Three top candidates are traitors to this country and, like Bush, are only foot soldiers for the New World Order / World Government demon.
Exactly why you should avoid public pools! They are safe for neither man nor beast! I have my own pool and allow my dogs to swim in it because I know they’re healthy and all vaccinations and other meds are up-to-date. My dogs are also trained not to do their business anywhere near the pool area. Thus prompts the question: Where do you suppose all these doggies relieved themselves?
Amazing!
Fabulous! What fun! What a great idea. And wonderful to see so many having so much fun. Both two- and four-legged creatures.
I’d rather share a pool with a bunch of anonymous dogs than a bunch of anonymous people! Much cleaner! I can catch a lot of human diseases but not most doggie diseases! Better man’s best friends than man.
As to candidates: Either of the two “majors” will destroy this country. Our only hope is Ron Paul. Or Chuck Baldwin. Period.
