Hilarious footage shows the moment when a giant fun-loving dog tries to flee his owner – by diving onto a paddle board.<br /><br />The video shows Hobie, a stubborn Newfoundland, refusing to leave the water during a training day with a dog group at Wyresdale Park, in Scorton, Lancs.<br /><br />And as he was being pulled to the shoreline, the rebellious black mutt made a final bid to stay at the lake by jumping onto a nearby floating board.<br /><br />But he was thankfully grabbed by his owner, who then got him out of the water with the help of another dog walker.<br /><br />The clip was filmed during a water rescue session run by the Blackpool Working Newfoundlands group, where the dogs were practising life-saving skills.<br /><br />Brooke Schofield, its co-founder, said the breed was well suited for saving humans but could be a little headstrong.<br /><br />She said about Hobie: “He really did not want to come out.” <br /><br />“[But] they have a natural instinct, if they see a human in water they really don't like it. <br />They will do anything they can to get the person out.<br /><br />“We help them get their confidence in the water and do activities like swimming out to people, taking a rope, towing a boat. <br /><br />"The dogs really enjoy it as it's what they were bred for."
