Thread title is misleading. That's not a "dog ate my pool" photo. That's just a "dog mildly chewed my pool" photo.
My dog ate our pool. I literally would have needed a 5 foot patch to patch the hole. Lucky for us it was only a $99 8 footer. It was during winter when the pool was still up, but drained.
Yes, ours was also a less-than-year old yellow Lab as well. They can be buggers. Killed 2 apple trees (completely stripped every inch of bark off both from about 6 feet height to the ground,) chewed a hole in the breezeway paneling and literally halfway through one of the wall studs behind that paneling, a 5 foot hole in the Intex pool, countless tears from the girls at toddler age when all they would find of their stuffed animals was an eye, or half a nose, countless shoes, etc, etc.
