A canine named “Tactix,” wearing swim trunks, launches off the dock to a 23-foot leap into the pool during the Big Air Dog Jump, where dogs jumping distance is measured after a 40 foot take off from the end of a dock into a pool as part of the Purina All Star Dog Show in Toronto on Sunday.

Being a dog, Tactix doesn’t understand tact and therefore was not embarrassed when he bare-ly won the contest.

Tactix the dog thinks to himself, “The things I put myself through for a can of cold, lumpy store-brand dog food.”
