This is the amusing moment a pet groomer interacted with a lively Golden Retriever during a wash-and-trim session.

Ayie Livioco played with the Goldie to keep it calm before blow-drying its fur at Furr Society Vicas Salon in Manila, the Philippines.

CCTV footage shows Ayie holding her hands up and moving them in front of the pooch on September 6.

The canine gently pawed at her face and even attempted to nip her.

Moments later, the dog clutched her wrist with its jaw before letting go.

The Golden then laid on the grooming table, prompting Ayie to switch on the blow dryer and carefully direct the airflow onto its fur.

Meanwhile, a colleague can be seen trimming a feisty black-and-white Shih Tzu wearing a muzzle nearby.

Ayie said: 'The dog was very gentle and just wanted to play at that time. I really didn't want him to get stressed during the grooming session, so I went along with his energy.'
