When too much salt ingested and ends up in the blood, the concentration of the blood increases, causing water from the surrounding tissue to move into the blood to dilute it and eventually move into the kidneys and excreted in excess to remove all the extra salt injested
Saltwater, as in sea water, is more hypertonic than the serum in human blood. Therefore, when excess salt is purged by the kidneys, the requisite amount of water is "pulled" out along with it. This process leads to dehydration.

Salt makes you thirsty, so if you drink salt water, you're not really doing anything for yourself, so it makes you more dehydrated.

The high salt content would cause osmosis in the intestines to remove water from his blood to dilute the salt, instead of absorbing water into the blood.

If a dog drinks from a salt water pool does it affect its coat?

i believe that a dog drinking from a salt pool could eventually make the dog very poorly, as this could lead to the dog becoming dehydrated. and eventually could get salt poisoning, i personally would encourage the dog to drink fresh water and if it had been drinking salt water syringe water into its mouth to try and dilute down the effects of the salt.
