A persistent pit bull terrier made quite a splash when he learnt how to climb a swimming pool ladder so he could join his owner for a swim.
The hound, called Max, was visiting his owner’s mother’s house when he decided to scale a steep pool ladder so he could have a quick dip.
In footage filmed in Long Branch, New Jersey, Max is unsteady on his feet as he slowly begins his climb up the ladder, holding on with his front two paws.

Max refused to give up throughout the entire unsteady climb and after a few words of encouragement from his owner, jumped into the pool and made quite a splash

The pooch refuses to give up even when he struggles to move his front paws up the final step and onto the diving platform.
Max stops to rest his head on the ledge before making the final tricky scramble up on to the platform.
His owner looks at him in shock and amazement from the pool as Max sits on top of the step, taking a short break after his lengthy climb.
