This is the hilarious moment the owner of a French bulldog decided to send his pooch on a trip of a lifetime – down the slide at a children’s playground.
Eighteen-month-old Tucco couldn’t get enough of the play equipment and was captured in footage taken by his amused owner.
In a 33-second clip filmed on Tuesday, the mutt can be seen zooming down the long metal chute on its bottom.
Eighteen-month-old Tucco was sent on the trip of a lifetime when his owner, Jim Roberts, sent him down a slide in his local park
He then energetically bounds back up the grassy hill to have another go and goes down the slide for a second time.
The fun-loving pooch can be seen running back to his owner Jim Roberts before enjoying a third go of the slide at the park in East Goscote, Leicestershire.
Car painter MR Roberts, 27, who lives in Syston, Leicestershire, with his partner Leanna Steele, 28, said: ‘I’d been in the pub and had a couple of pints.
Mr Roberts, 27, and his girlfriend Leanna Steele, 28, decided to introduced pet Tucco to a favourite childhood pass time
Mr Roberts took Tucco down the slide on his lap first of all to introduce him to the motion, but said that the pooch soon developed a taste for solo travel
A video captured Tucco running up the hill to take himself for a slide. Despite almost flying off at the bottom, the buoyant French bulldog was eager to have another go
‘So I thought it’d be funny to put him on my lap and go down the slide when I took Tucco on his walk.
‘I did that a couple of times and then he did it on his own, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
‘I used to live in East Goscote and I knew there was a big slide there as I used it as a kid.
Mr Roberts said Tucco’s love of slides is typical of his adventurous nature. The pooch has also been up Snowdon and Arthur’s Seat
‘Now when he sees the slide he just starts doing it himself. Every time there’s a slide around I always take him on them. He loves them now.
‘But that’s the biggest slide around and I was quite shocked when he did it.. He would keep doing it as long as I stood there.
‘I took the video because I knew it would be funny. He literally keeps doing it over and over.
Tucco’s first slide adventure took place at his local park in East Goscote, Syston, Leicestershire
Once he found his feet, Tucco, who is named after Breaking Bad, even tried scaling the notoriously slippy slide
‘He does like it, he’s just happy to be out. He’s been up Snowdon and Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh. He’s quite an adventurous pooch.’
Tucco was named after Tuco Salamanca – the psychotic Mexican drug kingpin character from hit TV series Breaking Bad.
Jim added: ‘I watched it four years ago and I’ve been waiting to get a dog so I could call it that name.
‘But unlike the evil character in the show, our Tucco is much more fun-loving and out-going as you can clearly see.’
