Dog Chasing Ducks Mistakes Algae Covered Pond For Grass

A cheeky dog got more than he bargained for when he disobeyed his owner and chased after a flock of ducks.

Digby was walking with his owner in Centennial Park in Sydney when he spotted the birds sitting on an algae covered pond.

The spaniel charged towards them as his owner desperately shouted for him to stop.

However, Digby didn’t seem to realise there was water under the blanket of green vegetation covering the pond.

He sprinted full-force towards towards the flock before the ground was suddenly pulled right out from under him.

The ducks barely flinched as the spaniel fell under the water.

When a wet and slimy Digby hauled himself out of the pond his exacerbated owner sighed: ‘That’ll teach you.’
