Tom Green Takes His Puppy Charley For Her First Canoe Ride And Swim
Tom Green paddles into summer with the newest member of his pack.
Tom Green is back on the water, and this time he’s got company. The Canadian comedian, fresh off a summer spent back home after months spent living out of a camper van across the American Southwest during the pandemic, put his puppy Charley in a canoe for the first time and posted the whole thing for fans on his own site and YouTube channel.
- Green published “Tom Green Takes His Puppy Charley For Her First Canoe Ride And Swim” on his official website and YouTube channel in June 2021.
- The vlog documents Charley’s first canoe outing and first swim during Green’s summer return to Canada.
- Green wrote that he “missed last summer in Canada” and said he “spent a lot of time canoeing” when he was younger, adding he “may begin to take part in this more.”
Back on the Water After a Long Year
Green’s note accompanying the video makes clear this trip mattered to him beyond just content for the channel. “I am excited to be in Canada for the summer. This has been a long year and I missed last summer in Canada,” he wrote. He’d spent much of 2020 on the road in the American Southwest as touring and Hollywood production ground to a halt, and getting back to a canoe on Canadian water was clearly the point, not an afterthought.
He didn’t dress it up with much more than that. Green described the outing plainly: “Charley and I had some fun today in the canoe.” No stunt, no bit, just a guy and his dog on the water.
Charley’s First Swim
The centerpiece of the video is Charley’s introduction to both canoeing and swimming in the same afternoon — a rite of passage for any dog raised near lake country. Green frames it as something he’s building into a bigger part of his life again, not a one-off. “When I was younger I spent a lot of time canoeing,” he wrote. “I think I may begin to take part in this more.”
“Charley and I had some fun today in the canoe.”
That line is the whole video in miniature. There’s no bigger hook to it — a comedian best known for stunts on The Tom Green Show and MTV-era chaos, quietly narrating a puppy’s first paddle.
Part of a Bigger Shift
This clip sits inside a wider pattern in Green’s 2021 output: outdoor training, wilderness exploration, and a steady stream of life-with-Charley content posted directly to his own channel rather than routed through a network or studio. It tracks with a broader move away from the Hollywood grind and back toward Canada and the outdoors, a shift Green has referenced repeatedly in his vlogs that year.
Fans looking for more of that same low-key, DIY energy from other corners of the internet can find it in coverage like Showing a Scammer Call Center their Photos!, another example of a creator turning an ordinary day into something worth posting. There’s also a natural connection to lighter animal content already on the site, such as Mobbed by Raccoons, for readers who like their internet clips with fur in them.
Green didn’t say whether Charley took to the water right away or needed coaxing, but the fact that he’s already talking about canoeing “more” suggests this won’t be the last time she’s in the boat. If the pattern of his 2021 vlogs holds, expect Charley back in that canoe before the summer’s out.
