A playful pet dog joined a couple playing keepy-uppy with a balloon outside their home.

The pooch took turns pushing the red inflatable upwards into the air with two youngsters in the street in Bueng Kan, Thailand on March 15.

Footage shows the canine staying alert and hitting the balloon with his nose when as it slowly drifted between the three of them.

The dog pushed the object to his friends before it landed on dirt ground while playing with them at night.

Pet owner Wanida said: 'He likes playing with the balloon. He enjoyed it so much.'

Keepy-uppy is a fun game in which players try to keep a ball in the air without letting it touch the ground. Players use their feet, thighs, and heads to control the ball and prevent it from falling.
