The real doggy paddle: The pets taking the plunge with their underwater antics

By Kerry Mcqueeney


With a look of steely determination, these pets perfect their doggy paddle as they dive head first into a swimming pool to retrieve their beloved ball.

Anyone with a dog will know the lengths it will go to fetch something thrown for it. And these heart-warming images show nothing stands in their way - not even water.

These canine warriors pounce into the pool with their eyes firmly fixated on the prize.


Making a splash: These dogs will stop at nothing in pursuit of their beloved ball - and photographer Seth Casteel was on hand to capture these hilarious moments

Taking the plunge: A combination of both facial expressions and underwater movement makes for a amusing - and sometimes bizarre - image

Taking the photographs underwater, the artist has managed to capture images that will keep a smile on your face all year round

Some of them bare their teeth, others open their eyes as wide as possible while one or two get caught up in a frenzy of bubbles.

These images are the handiwork of photographer Seth Casteel, who has captured the moment the water dogs take the plunge.

Seth has turned the incredible photographs into a heart-warming calendar, sure to keep a smile on your face all year round.

Based in Los Angeles and Chicago, Seth's photography agency specialises in lifestyle pet photography, embracing the 'at-ease' mentality of pets on location in the natural surroundings.

He enjoys working with animals whether he's on location in Beverly Hills photographing a pampered pooch or volunteering at the local shelter taking pictures of dogs and cats to give them a better chance of finding homes.
