If you’ve ever argued with a teenager, you’ll understand Buster’s mom. Except in this case, the “teen” is a Labrador with an Olympic-level obsession for swimming. The clip on @bustersworld4’s page shows the chaos in real time. It’s 7 a.m., the sun’s barely up, and Buster’s already making his stance clear: pool time isn’t over just because Mom says so.
The caption sums it up perfectly — “When you’re raising a teenage lab that likes to argue and does what he wants when he wants.” Let’s just say Mom’s patience ran thin, Buster couldn’t care less, and the pool ended up winning.
Teenage Labrador ‘likes to argue’ with owner during pool time in video
This hilarious video, which has racked up over 19.6K likes, opens with Buster already in the pool, loudly protesting his mom’s repeated calls to “get out.” He finally swims toward her, as if conceding defeat — but as soon as he is out, he shakes the water off his body and jumps immediately back into the pool. If that’s not peak teenage behavior, we don’t know what is.
His mom tries everything: using his full name, bribing him with toys, and even gentle reasoning. None of it works. Each time she says “out,” Buster hears “dive.” The text captions tell the story of a parent on the brink: “I asked for a Lab and was sent a toddler with fur, who thinks ‘get out’ means dive back in dramatically,” and “If he jumps in one more time… he’s up for adoption.”
At one point, his sibling Purdy also joins the party. But he is not as wild about diving as Buster. The owner states, “Somewhere between the 7th yell and his 9th jump, I gave up.” Not even the fake adoption threat made him pause for a second.
The video has over 19,000 likes. And the comments section is pure joy. One viewer summed it up: “Buster is a true lab. He’s gonna do what he wants when he wants.” Another joked, “In my next life, I wanna come back as Buster Henry.” Can’t blame them, honestly. He’s living his best, splashiest life.
