A dog owner from Swansea was mystified as to how nine-week-old puppy Patch was regularly getting out of his pen while his siblings were staying where they belonged.
So she set up a camera and eventually caught the moment he launched his escape plan into action from the pen - however it didn't quite go as planned.
This time he managed to fall straight into a box.

The cheeky English Bull Terrier is the only one in his litter to master the feat and has left his siblings and owners all amazed at his mischievous behaviour.
Owner Lisa Thomas, 31, from Clase told TeamDogs : “He would be the only one out in the mornings, greeting us home from work by the front door looking very pleased with himself.
“So when we first saw him do it we were obviously in shock and couldn’t help but laugh. We kept putting him back in and he was back out within seconds. We have put padding in the box landing so he doesn’t injure himself.
“Luckily none of the others have learnt how to do it.”
After climbing up and over the gate, the pup wasn’t quite free yet, as he fell straight into a box. Moments later, clever little Patch pops his head through the box and makes his way out, finally able to wag his way around the house.
After seeing their brother performing the stunt, one of the siblings wanted a closer look and appeared confused. But it’s a good job the box was there for a safer and softer landing.
Lisa has a total of six English bull terriers, but luckily it’s only Patch that has learnt how to climb. Although Lisa says Patch isn’t the dominant one in the group, he is very clearly the most intelligent.
