He may be 11, he may be in a wheelchair, and he may have cancer, but nothing is stopping golden retriever Lion from having fun.

The dog was so determined to join his pooch pal in the pool of his São Paulo, Brazil, home that he ignored anything that would stop him, including a human, a chair, and gravity itself.

Describing Lion as “the hurricane” in the Instagram post on January 21, Lion’s owner Katia Luz DePlachett found the comical side of her pet’s determination.

DePlachett has been caring for Lion throughout his cancer treatment. According to an update on Lion’s GoFundMe page, the cancer has unfortunately returned.

“The cancer has come back and I may not have the energy and youth to fight it,” the update, which is written in the dog’s voice, reads. “My parents have given me permission to live badly and to have as much fun as I possibly can in the time I have left.” Credit: Katia Luz DePlachett via Storyful
