An adorable dog was caught on camera enthusiastically turning off his owner’s phone alarm.
The footage was recorded at the family’s home in Pennsylvania, America.
In the video, the Miniature Australian Shepherd dog, called Winston, is sat on top of a bed alongside his owners.
The phone that has been placed in front of him then begins to buzz as the alarm sounds and Winston tilts his head inquisitively as he focuses on the device.
The adorable pup rearranges both of his paws as he nervously edges closer toward it.
He then moves abruptly to pick up a toy that has been resting in front of him which he thinks could be the source of the noise.

But the sound continues and the brown-and-white pooch stares fixedly again at the phone with the chew still hanging out of his mouth.
The five-month-old then seems to finally identify the actual source of the noise and launches himself paws first at the phone.
Winston scrabbles his claws frantically at the screen as they tap at the glass.
He manages to turn the alarm off as his owners, Nick and Melissa, look on and giggle at his achievement.

One of his owners leans forward to stroke him and says ‘good boy’ repeatedly as Winston nibbles playfully at his hand
Nick leans forward to stroke the adorable dog, who was born earlier this year, and repeatedly praises him for being a ‘good boy’.
Winston playfully nibbles at his hand and the video ends shortly after.
The video was uploaded to Winston’s own Instagram page, which currently has nearly 5,000 followers, alongside the caption: ‘When daddy’s phone goes off it means he leaves me to go to work… so I shut it off on him so he never leaves!’
