The moment pup begins doggy paddling the air as owner carries him over river

This is the adorable moment a pup begins doggy paddling the air as his owner carries him over a river.

Adam Matthews, 35, from Newark, Nottinghamshire, was enjoying a scenic walk in the Peak District with his girlfriend Kate Wilkinson and their dog Buster.

But they had to take a laughter break after watching little Buster doggy paddle the air when being carried over stepping stones along a fast-flowing river.

Their video captures Buster’s legs in motion as he ‘paddles’ to safety, as well as Adam and Kate laughing at his adorable antics.

Adam said: “I would normally let him jump across, but he wouldn't because it was higher than usual.”

The video has received more than 1.3k likes on Facebook, with users saying ‘I think he will go viral”.

Other have comments on how “cute” and “hilarious” little Buster is and have praised his determination to make it over the river safely.

Adam added: “Buster is a good swimmer. He loves to swim in the lake near my house. But our favourite place to go is Tintwistle in Derbyshire.”
