A golden retriever named Duke has gone viral for disobeying his owner's bedtime curfew, going into the family pool for a night swim instead.

In a video shared on TikTok by the dog's owner, who goes by the username Kimberlyclark78, he can be seen chilling in the pool while ignoring his owner's attempts to call him in.

"It is 9 o'clock at night. What are you doing in the pool? It is not time to go swimming. It is not Saturday. Today is Tuesday dude," Duke's owner said in the video.

Mom it is Saturday everyday is Saturday!!!#dukehasapooladdiction #EVERYDAYISSATURDAY

The dog still didn't get out of the pool after being told off once again, and actually managed to convince his owner to play some late night fetch in the pool.

"Ah here comes the alligator," said the dog owner, while Duke refused to high five her because he still wasn't done playing with his ball.

The video, which was first posted on Wednesday, has attracted a lot of attention online, receiving over 630,000 views, 78,000 likes and more than 1,200 comments.

According to a recent survey conducted by the American Veterinary Medical Association, dogs are still the most loved animal in the United States. About 38 percent of American households own a dog, and there are about 76 million pet dogs in the country.

Golden retrievers are very affectionate dogs, according to the American Kennel Club, and they're great with kids and with other pets too. They are among the most popular breeds in the country, and live an average of 10-12 years.
