This is the hilarious moment a sausage dog ran rings around his owners.

Dave, the naughty Dachshund who refused to go inside after a long walk, was captured by Ring’s doorbell. He then ran amok and circled the family car.

Lakis Grafanakis (38), Dave’s owner said that he had just taken him on a walk and started to take him off the lead close to the house because he usually walks back with us. 

“That day, he had been running around in the park, and I think he still had adrenaline and just went for it.

“We were worried because it was right by the road. It was heartbreaking for us.

The hilarious video also caught Lakis telling Dave, ‘That’s naughty, do you f**king hear me,’ after the cheeky pup was apprehended.
