This cute little dog gets covered in algae after swimming in the river.

Nigel, a two-year-old pit bull, broke free from the ropes and jumped into the muddy water to play with the fish.

The hostess, 35-year-old Irina Verbovskaya from Cherkassy, Ukraine, took these amazing photos of Nigel fishing with a spear on the Dnieper.

“I was so scared that I wouldn’t let Nigel swim in this water,” he said.
