She Noticed an Eerie Silence—Then Checked Her Dog and Was Stunned
Noeul the Golden Retriever: A Swimming Pup Who Found the Perfect Way to Relax
Meet Noeul, the Water-Loving Dog
There is a sweet golden retriever named Noeul (you can see her on Instagram here). Whenever she is near water, she just has to jump in. This has been true since she was a tiny puppy. She is a very, very enthusiastic swimmer.
Her mom, Younga Song, explained it simply to The Dodo:
- “Noeul is a ‘water-retriever.’”
- “She wants to jump in the moment she sees water, and she refuses to come out.”
Important Point: Noeul loves water so much that she will not leave the water on her own once she gets in!
A Strange Quiet During a Long Swim
Earlier this month, Song and her family went on a trip. They rented a house that had a pool. Noeul was thrilled and jumped right in.
Here is what happened, step by step:
- Noeul played in the water nonstop from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
- Suddenly, her mom noticed the usual splashing and paddling sounds stopped.
- Song looked outside and saw only Noeul’s head bobbing in the pool.
- Feeling worried, Song went outside to check on her.
The Silly Surprise
When Song went to look, she found something funny. Noeul had figured out how to relax without getting out of the pool!
- She stopped paddling all the time.
- She stood on the bottom of the pool.
- She leaned comfortably against the pool edge.
Noeul was just enjoying herself like she was at a spa. Her mom couldn’t help but laugh at the silly sight.
The End of Pool Time
After that funny moment, pool time eventually came to an end for the day.
Summary
Noeul is a golden retriever who adores water. On a family trip, she swam for hours, then went quiet. Her mom got worried, but found Noeul just standing in the pool, leaning on the edge, and relaxing in her own special way.
