Irish dog steals owner's phone and refuses to give it back

HE's been dubbed the 'world's worst dog' by his owner for running off with a smartphone, but this Irish dog has created one very funny minute of footage in the process.

Eimear O'Donnell, from Tullyskeherny in Leitrim, captured her golden retriever being very bold as it's seen dodging an exasperated Sean O'Donnell as he chases the canine around the garden in a bid to retrieve his mobile.

The dog appears to have very different ideas about giving back the phone and leaps over the garden hedge, leaving his owner to chase after him.

We don't know if they got the phone back but Eimear who branded him the "world's worst dog" says she "still wouldn't change him" despite his bad behaviour.
