This is Trigger. The pool may be shallow. But his thoughts are deep. 12/10 (via u/hercules25)

an inflatable pool fills most of the frame, with a wood fence in the background. a little brown dog is resting up against the far side of the pool, standing on his hind legs and leaning down against his back so only his head is above water. he’s got his front paws tucked in close to his chest and is staring off into space while contemplating the meaning of life. definitely either that or wondering if he finished burying his bone earlier. (he didn’t, but we’re not trying to stress the guy out)

Trigger waited a long time for the kids to exit the pool so he could do this.

I think Trigger deserves a rating of at least 15/10, because let's be real, his profoundness clearly exceeds the standard canine scale.
