Watch no-nonsense bulldog body-slam playful puppy 'like something out of WWE'

This is the hilarious moment a no-nonsense bulldog taught a boisterous puppy a lesson and body-slammed him into the floor 'like something out of WWE'.

Lucy Tilley-Toon filmed the moment excitable 10-week-old bulldog puppy Bruce launched himself from the sofa onto unsuspecting Keith's head in a desperate bid to encourage him to play.

With lightning-quick reflexes, the unimpressed pooch, seven, can be seen throwing his head backwards while letting out a yelp of surprise and inadvertently flipping Bruce 180 degrees - body-slamming into the floor.

Unhurt, stunned Bruce flashes the camera a look of surprise and walks away as residential support officer Lucy, 43, can be heard in fits of laughter.

Since the mum-of-two shared the funny clip on Facebook with the caption 'Oh FFS what were we thinking getting another....WWE SMACKDOWN......' it has racked up more than 900 likes, shares and comments.

Lucy, from Swadlincote, Derbyshire, said: "Bruce is always wanting to play and Keith is a very relaxed dog. Any attempts to play didn't work so he got onto the sofa and dived onto Keith - he's got some flight on him. It [Keith's reaction] was a proper smackdown move, like something out of WWE.

"He just wanted to pin him down and teach him some manners, Keith definitely won that bout. Bruce was absolutely fine, he's pretty robust. It's not put him off trying to get Keith to play with him. They've got a proper brotherly relationship - teasing each other and being daft. It was just funny."

Thrilled social media users flooded the post with comments.

One wrote: "Smackdown WWF style."

Another commented: "Incoming body slam!!"

One wrote: "I can't stop watching this!"

Lucy and brewery operative husband Adam Toon, 38, were sitting in the living room when the smackdown shenanigans began. It's not the first time Bruce, who arrived on Boxing Day, has annoyed his older brother.

Lucy said: "Bruce goes after Keith's toys all the time trying to irritate him. He was trying to get in his space yesterday. Keith always lies in one spot on the sofa and Bruce was trying to get in his space and was wriggling on his back.

"Keith wasn't having any of it. I think it will be ongoing as there's a big age gap but I have got a picture of them lying together, so they're getting there."
