Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has long cultivated an Instagram collection of charming feel-good stories. There's that time he hit a truck and the owner, a fan, was thrilled about it. Oh, and the time he posed for a picture with a teary-eyed cancer survivor. But with his post Monday, the wrestling phenom just might have outdone himself.
It all started when The Rock tried to potty-train his two French bulldogs in the backyard, he wrote. But once outside, they both ran straight into the deep-end of his pool. It was a rough way to find out Brutus doesn't know how to doggie paddle.
"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," the actor wrote. "He was a little delirious."

After throwing up water, a healthy Brutus ran off to play with his brother, Hobbs. Unfortunately, The Rock's drenched cell phone didn't fare quite as well.
