This is the adorable moment a Crufts contender delighted the crowd with a hilariously clueless performance on an assault course.
Kratu, a cross-breed, looked confident as he started the course by jumping over a hurdle but quickly lost his bearings and wandered off in the wrong direction.
The emotional support dog, from Wood Green, London, proceeded to make his own way around the course, leaping over one of the obstacles in the wrong direction before entering a tunnel and then changing his mind halfway through.
The Channel 4 commentator, Peter Purvis, said: ‘He hasn’t a clue what he’s doing, does he?’

Kratu, a cross-breed, looked confident as he started the course by jumping over a hurdle but quickly lost his bearings and wandered off in the wrong direction
The dog’s owner, Tessa, tried encouragingly to steer Kratu back on the right path but the pooch was not to be contained.
At one point Kratu made it into a green tunnel, only to change his mind and come straight back out the way he came in.
He also wondered completely off the course at one stage to make himself comfortable with some of the pitchside volunteers.
Commentator Purvis was a fan of the four-year-old, calling him ‘brilliant’ and remarking: ‘He couldn’t care less, could he?
‘He’s the reason Tessa gets up every day. Good old Kratu,’ said Purvis, who could not stop laughing during the clip.
After a minute of bounding around with little regard for the established course, Kratu came back to Tessa, who patted him on the back while the crowd applauded warmly.

Tessa commented on Facebook: ‘Kratu is all about fun and happiness. He loves to do his own thing.
‘He adores people and saying hello. He loved the crowd and their reaction!’
Pooches and their proud owners descended on the NEC Arena for the fourth day and final day of the annual competition.
Some 160,000 visitors from all around the world were expected to attend the four-day event and hopefully see their dog named a Cruft champion and take home a prestigious title.

The volunteers could only laugh as Kratu came over to where they were sitting rather than sticking to the designated course
