This is the moment a mischievous mutt ran rings around a delivery driver when it tore up the package he was delivering before sneaking into his van and tucking into his lunch.

The delivery man had put the package at the base of front porch steps outside a home in Avon, Connecticut, before he went to ring the doorbell.

Footage taken on the doorbell camera captured the dog grabbing the parcel in its teeth as the man, wearing a FedEx jacket, headed back down the stairs.

The delivery man then just watched hopelessly as the dog galloped around the front yard with the package between its teeth.

He shouted ‘hello’ to try to speak to the owner as his concern for the welfare of the parcel grew.

As the package was ripped apart the hapless driver lunged towards the dog.

When the home's owner pulls his car into the driveway the dog leaps out of the van to greet him, leading the delivery driver to shout 'I was like "what the heck is going on"? Oh you were in my truck the whole time'

The clip then cuts to another angle showing the driver standing next to his white van with the destroyed parcel in his hand.

He puts the parcel down on a bin as he looks around for the now missing dog.

The dog owner recently shared the footage, filmed in November 2020. He said: ‘My dog takes the package and runs around the yard. 

‘The deliveryman is confused. Then the same delivery guy can’t find the dog, he then realizes he was actually in his truck the whole time…eating his lunch.’
