This is the hilarious moment an impatient dog wiped out a young boy who was about to throw a stick for him.

Alysha Stowell watched as what is usually a friendly game of fetch between her son Zachary and golden retriever Zeke turned into a full-on clash.

The mother of two thought it would be nice to capture the weekend family walk in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada.

Five-year-old Zachary can be seen preparing to throw a stick, but with Zeke watching over, he decided to jump the gun and leap for it.

Disregarding that Zachary was in between him and his prize, Zeke wipes out the young boy to get a hold of the piece of wood, leaving him behind on the floor.

Luckily Zachary had nothing more than some dirt on his jacket.

The funny clip has since gone viral, with more than 200,000 people liking the dog’s antics. 

Alysha said: ‘We go for a family walk every weekend, and in the video our son was playing with our puppy Zeke who is nine months old.

‘Our son loves to throw sticks for him and they had been having so much fun running back and forth so I thought I would pull out my camera to try and capture some of that fun banter.

‘However in this instance Zeke was not waiting for him to throw it and took it upon himself to tackle our son for the stick and then teased him with it.

‘My husband, daughter and myself all started laughing, as we knew Zachary was alright cause we could hear him giggling.

‘Zachary was completely unharmed, got up and walked it off like a champ.’
