WE’VE all seen extreme toddler temper tantrums — but this German Shepherd takes throwing a fit to a new level.

Bella the German Shepherd was having a tonne of fun playing in the water — until her owner told her it was time to go.

That’s when the big dog turned into a big kid: howling, yelping and swimming further out into the lake.

And it seems Bella’s little hissy fit worked for her.

“She got to keep swimming after her wonderful theatrical performance,” Laura Gibbs, who posted the video to YouTube in April, wrote.

“No dogs’ hearts were actually broken in the making of this video.”
