Don't let man's best friend have FOMO, the city of Grand Rapids is welcoming your dog to come take a dip in the pool for one day this summer.

Now, here's the fun part - during the first hour, they're making room for all of the small dogs to enjoy a splashing good time without worry.

Then, in the next three swim sessions, dogs who weigh more than 35 pounds can dive in and make a splash with their new best friends.

And for the final hour, the city's arranged a session dedicated to our senior furry friends aged 8 and older.

Spaces are limited, but there should be room for all the dogs to come ruff-house - each session can accommodate a whopping 175 dogs. So, it's going to be a paws-itively amazing time for everyone involved.

If you want to join in, registration opens up on Monday (July 24th) and you can sign up here.
