This is the amusing moment a pet dog carried a pair of scissors to its elderly owner as he watched television.

Raul, 70, was watching his favourite show when Peachy, the Shih Tzu, approached him with the tool in her mouth in their living room in Metro Manila, the Philippines.

CCTV footage shows the one-year-old pooch standing beside him when he noticed the canine was looking at him on December 18.

He then turned to his left and petted the animal before taking the scissors, but Peachy briefly resisted, grasping them in her jaws before letting go.

Raul then repositioned himself and caressed the dog's head for a second time while holding the scissors in his other hand.

Pet owner Kristina said: 'Every morning, whenever Peachy goes downstairs, she always goes straight to her grandfather first to greet him.

'On this particular day, she saw a pair of scissors on the stairs. Since she tends to pick up anything she finds, she grabbed the scissors and brought them to him, just like how she usually brings random objects.'
