Dog manages to turn on owner’s gas stove and set fire to a package of soft drinks

This is the terrifying moment a mischievous dog  manages to turn on it’s owner’s gas stove and set fire to a package of soft drinks which explode across the kitchen. 

The clip was filmed by Matthew Ruffino who had left his two German shepherds, Dahlia and Hendrix, alone in his house.

Somehow manage to break into the kitchen and set to work trashing the whole room.

Footage shows the mess the dogs had already made with emptying food packets and wrappers and toys littering the floor.

But trouble begins when Dahlia jumps up on her hind legs and places her paws on the stove and accidentally turns the gas on.

Blue and orange flames can be seen flickering on the hob and licking the bottom of a package of soft drinks which are perched on top.

Dahlia appears curious about the sudden bouts of flame and watches while Herndrix stays in the corner.

But soon the dogs appear to sense that something is not quite right when the fire builds momentum and soon begins to grow.

The two dogs cower by the kitchen door as the flames take hold and suddenly one of the drinks cans explode across the kitchen.

By this time the dogs appear to be visibly in distress at the small fire and can be seen scratching at the gate that separates the kitchen from the rest of the house.

Dahlia and Hendrix manage to escape  just before a second can explodes and soft drink sprays all over the room.

Luckily, the dog’s were safe and the fire eventually dies down and does not spread to any other part of the kitchen.

Mr Ruffino said: ‘Dogs where locked outside kitchen, they broke into it. Trouble started after.’
