This is the incredible moment a Jack Russell terrier called Baby Girl swam through the filter of its owner’s swimming pool.

After jumping into the skimmer basket, Baby Girl then leaps up onto the wooden rail and walks along the side of the pool.

Ms Sims uploaded the footage of her dog onto her TikTok page for Baby Girl’s growing legion of fans.
Ms Sims said: ‘She gets out of the pool using the skimmer basket as a doggie door and walks the rim until she gets in the deck to shake.
‘I told her not to jump on the rocks because her fans didn’t like it.’
