Anyone who has a pet dog will tell you how adorable, loving, affectionate and at the same time naughty and mischievous they can be! Shoes, socks, clothes - they spare nothing, anything that they see will become their toy, sooner or later.?
This is what happened - a 10-month-old puppy saw a lighter and started playing with it. He used it as his chew toy but, obviously it was not a good option and stating the obvious - it ended up igniting a fire. The incident was recorded on a security footage.?
Here¡¯s the video:
The pup named Archie started chewing on the lighter, sitting on the couch and you can see later in the video that the couch catches fire. The confused and helpless animal stares at the fire and then leaves.?
According to a 9 News Australia report, the owner of the dog said that she just left the dog alone in the house for four minutes. ¡°I think he grabbed it off the TV unit or something and it must¡¯ve sparked and the couch caught fire,¡± Dee told local media outlet 3AW.
After seeing the CCTV footage, she immediately called up the fire station. Luckily, Archie was not harmed during the incident and no damage was caused to the neighbouring apartments. However, the furniture and property worth 60,000 Australian dollars (Rs 29.25 lakh) was damaged.
