A naughty pet dog was stuck in the gate when he sneaked out to play with friends.

The nine-year-old pooch, Monkey, took advantage when he saw that the steel structure was left partially opened in their home in Bangkok, Thailand, on December 30.

But while Monkey was trying to squeeze through the gap, he was left trapped as his lower body was wider than the opening.

Footage shows Monkey awkwardly caught between the gate and the wall. His dog friend was seen passing in front of their home while being walked by his owner.

Pet owner Worapim Tulapipak said: ‘Monkey always tried to escape to play with other dogs outside. I heard him crying that day, and I saw he was stuck.

‘Another dog was looking at him from the outside of our house. I felt like he was embarrassed about what happened.'

Monkey was later freed from the gate and taken inside the house.
