A woman has gone viral for showing what life with her two dogs is really like, as the siblings tried to get a ball from the swimming pool.
Bridget Marr, from South Carolina, is the owner of two goldendoodle dogs: Jasper, 6, and 3-year-old Rusty.
"Me and my family have had Jasper since he was six weeks old," Marr told Newsweek, with the doodle growing up loving the beach—and in particular, the South Carolina pluff mud by the water.

A year ago, they added Rusty to the family, taking him in when his previous family was going through health issues, and believing "Jasper could use a friend and brother."
"At first we didn't think they would click but by the end of the week they were besties," she said.
Recently, she took to her TikTok account @bdogtrapmaster03 to show an amusing moment between the pair.
In a video posted on May 31, she captured the blond and red-colored dogs standing by the side of the pool, where a ball had just fallen in.
Each pup takes turns to dip his face into the water, trying to get the ball in their mouth and rescue it—only for it to bob away, just escaping their clutches each time.
...
To add to the comedic effect, Marr paired the video with commentary written from the doodles' perspective, as though they were talking to each other about how best to approach the conundrum.
And as Marr described it in a caption, they had "no thoughts, just ball."
Marr told Newsweek that since the video was taken, "Rusty has learned to take the leap and swim in the pool, but Jasper is a little bit more particular about his tail!"
While the pool might not be Jasper's favorite place, the beach nearby their home definitely is, as they regularly take off running from their house "down the nearest beach path"—so regularly, in fact, that the local police know them by name.
TikTok users were in stitches, one calling the audio "perfect" and another declaring, "I'm convinced all doodles are the same."
Another agreed: "Our doodle walks around on the sundeck blowing bubbles for absolutely no reason. Oh, and she digs in the corners as if she is going somewhere."
...
One described the breed as "very smart but very goofy," as another compared the dogs to "my last two brain cells."
And as one put it: "Doodles are the derpiest, but their poodle side wants you to believe they are 100 percent serious."
As goldendoodles, Rusty and Jasper are a cross between a poodle and golden retriever. Goldens have long been a popular choice for families, noted for their devoted, intelligent, and friendly nature, and getting along well with people, small children, and other dogs, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC).
Poodles, meanwhile, are not quite as goofy: the breed is described by the AKC as proud-natured and highly intelligent, capable of being trained to big success.
