This is the amusing moment a seemingly irritated Golden Retriever playfully lunged at a groomer while he has waving his fur dried.

Footage captured by pet owner Leah Rose Barrientos shows Choco, the one-year-old Goldie, standing on a grooming table at a pet salon in Negros Occidental, Philippines.

The groomer can be seen guiding the pooch to sit still as the dryer was directed toward his chest on August 11.

Choco attempted to nibble the groomer's hand, but he quickly pulled it away and gently bumped the table to keep the dog calm.

The session continued, with the employee carefully touching Choco's fur while the canine stayed mostly patient until it was over.

Leah said: 'Choco enjoys every grooming session with his favorite groomer; he was just being playful that time.'
