A video of a woman in China disciplining her two dogs for running away from home as though they were naughty children has amused mainland social media.
The unidentified woman, from Jiangsu province in eastern China, was filmed telling her two dogs off for disappearing from home for a night, Star Video reported.
The dogs were dressed in coloured T-shirts and are seen leaning back against a wall and looking remorseful as their owner crouched down in front of them in the video.
The woman, addressing one of the dogs, said: “You are the elder sister. How can you do that?”
“Does anyone else run away from home like you two?”
A bemused friend of the woman who is seen next to her in the video said the dogs understood their owner’s words.
“They know it, but just can’t talk,” she said.
Many who saw the video online were delighted by the dogs’ reaction to their angry owner.
One person commented: “It is very similar to a mother punishing her kids when they make a mistake.”
