A video of an adorable puppy running rings around his owner with a plant pot stuck on its head has caught the internet’s attention for all the right reasons.
The eight second clip of Brian, a Border Terrier-Patterdale cross, was uploaded to Twitter by his owner Tony Hutton from Leigh.
Tony told TeamDogs : “No matter how expensive the dog toy you buy, he will always go for something around him from the garden - whether it's a twig or a plant pot.
“He's not very old. There's no coordination going on or anything; it's quite entertaining watching him fall over and walk into things.”
The footage, shot by Tony’s daughter, Katie, 22, captures 16-week-old Brian with a plant pot on his head, running in circles around the family garden.
With Tony’s son, Danny, 21, in hot pursuit, it’s not long before Brian’s limited vision, with the flower pot covering his face, results in a comedic head-on collision with a nearby step.
“My son who was in the video chasing him, they love playing games together,” says Tony, 53, “He’s a core part of the family. My mum and dad live next door but one and they come around each day and they love playing with him… if we need a dog sitter, he can go and trash their garden and living room for a bit.”
Describing the newest family member as “very stubborn”, Tony says the young puppy has a “great little temperament” noting he “hasn’t got a bad bone in his body”.
This is just the latest inanimate object favoured by the boisterous pup as garden tools have become a particular favourite of late.
“If I'm in the garden doing anything, he'll pick it up. You put the spade down, he'll try and drag it off. The yard brush particularly - a six foot long yard brush with a long handle, he has loads of fun dragging it around. I don't know what he thinks it is, but he loves it.”
