'Is that real?' Scots dog goes viral after ripping off letterbox and chewing through door

Stunned locals could barely believe their eyes after a dog chewed through a front door in Fife. A photo of the pooch popping its head out the hole went viral as the pet was captured watching passers-by in the village of Kelty.

The uPVC door of the property on Croftangry Road had been completely chewed through, with the hole stretching the size of what would have been a letterbox. The dog also appeared to be trying to make a bigger hole in its mission to escape.

The freedom-hunting pet was spotted with its head hanging out the impressive gap it had made in the entryway. And with a front paw forced through the hole too, it seemed as if the dog was ready for a breakout.

The image has shocked so many people on social media that some didn't believe it was real. But in fact, many could testify that the dog's endeavours were legitimate, saying they had actually passed the scene.

Rhiannon Lowe said: "I walked past it going to the nursery was just sitting with its tongue out looking about!" Paula Grady added: "I waked passed with my dog the other day and thought it was going to break through the window!"

"I genuinely thought this was fake/photoshopped until I seen the video!" Corinna Cumming wrote. "Wee Dug's on a mission," Lesley Penman commented.

Many wondered what its owners will be thinking when they get home. Carolanne Napier said: "Imagine explaining this to council?! I know the dog eat ma homework but never the dog eat though door!"

An amused Shaun Duncan added: "Owners told him to keep a look out for the postie while they nip to the shop." Steven Cowan replied: "That’s one way to avoid junk mail."
