"I guess he just wanted to cool off, so we left him alone," Zbaracki wrote.

"And no, that's not our dog."

It was a black bear.

Zbaracki also caught the bear, which he said has been spotted in the area before and named Bert by a local photographer, grabbing lunch at his neighbor's house before getting in the pool.

"I'm just happy my kids decided to sleep in," Zbaracki wrote in a comment.

Let's hope Bert waited an hour before taking a dip.
