Share Share Most of us enjoyed a nice relaxing Labor Day weekend. However, WWE Superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson ended up with more excitement than he bargained for this holiday.
The former Miami Hurricane-turned-entertainment star brought home two French bulldog puppies this weekend. While training two young pups is never an easy task, The Rock was not prepared for what happened when he let the dogs out in the yard for the first time.
Here's a fun Labor Day weekend story… We just decided to add two new members to our Johnson family. Baby French Bulldogs. In my right hand is BRUTUS and in my left hand is HOBBS. Bring them home and immediately take them outside so they can start learning how to "handle their business and potty like big boys". I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool. HOBBS immediately starts doggy paddling while BRUTUS (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool. I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean BRUTUS and bring him back to the edge of the pool. He was a little delirious.. took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, "Thank God you didn't have to give me mouth to mouth!" and then ran off to play with his brother. A few lessons I've learned today.. A) Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle. B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick. C) While spiriting to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try and throw your cel phone to safety. Don't keep it in your pocket… like I did. #BRUTUSLives #HOBBSCanSwim #MyCelPhonesDead #AndNoMouthToMouthNeeded #HappyLaborDay

Other than a waterlogged cell phone, Johnson and his pup were thankfully no worse for the wear. Or so it seemed…
It turns out that the near-drowning experience made Brutus sick. The Rock, in turn, got to smell what his dog was cooking, all night long.
