Thirsty dog is caught drinking from the BIDET in owner's bathroom 

A thirsty dog was found happily drinking from a bidet, cleverly using his nose to operate the tap for a drink.

Elena Kuzmina, 50, from Moscow, Russia, caught her dog Jordan quenching his thirst on video on December 24.

In the clips she can be heard encouraging him and saying 'well done' as he enthusiastically licks and slurps from the bathroom bidet.

Ms Kuzmina can then be heard saying that 'the most important thing is to wipe your face after that' as another person came in and towel-dried Jordan's mouth.

His owner explained that Jordan has his own water bowl but sometimes likes a change of scenery.

She added: 'He really loves water and drinks it everywhere, from his bowl, any tap or even the watering hose.

'He always has a bowl full of water but maybe tap water is tastier.

'We didn't teach him to drink water from the bidet, he learned it himself.

'We're always afraid to leave him alone near the bidet.'

Ms Kuzmina has to make sure the bathroom door is closed at all times to stop Jordan helping himself to the bidet whenever he's thirsty.

But that's not the first time a dog has found a creative alternative to a water bowl.

A cheeky boxer dog was filmed in September drinking from a fridge water dispenser at a family home in Washington.

In video footage shared online, Walter was seen standing on his back legs with his head tucked well inside the machine.

His owner continued filming as she walked around him and observed him gulping away, completely undisturbed by her presence.

She eventually shouted his name, causing Walter to remove his head from inside the dispenser and glance at her with his puppy eyes.
