A pet dog ran over to a basin for a cooling bath on a hot day.

Footage shows the Aspin pooch jumping into the container filled with water on a sunny afternoon in Central Luzon, the Philippines.

The canine curled up inside, enjoying the refreshing feeling.

Pet owner Renalyn Tamondong said: 'Our fluffy dog absolutely loves water.

'Every time we fill up the basin, he immediately jumps in and starts swimming.

'One time, he even got caught on camera sneaking into the water on his own when no one was around.

'I managed to capture another funny moment on video, and people found it really entertaining.

'Unlike most dogs who are scared of water, he's completely fearless and genuinely enjoys swimming.'

The region experienced dangerous heat index levels of up to 46 degrees Celsius on May 26.
