Normally, guinea pig Bruno is very shy but put him near water and he can’t help but enjoy splashing about.

The two-year-old was rescued by News Shopper reporter Carly Read who bought him last November.

She said: “He was incredibly timid when I first bought him, but now he’s got more confident and seems really happy living with me.”

The cuddly chubster can be moody and grumpy but really livens up around water.

Carly added: “I ran a shallow bath for him a while ago and carefully put him in and he seemed to really enjoy swimming in it.

“I tried to take him out of the bath but he jumped out my hands and back in, didn’t seem to want to leave.

“He’s shy so he really comes out of his shell when he’s in water. “
