A Golden Retreiver has become a viral hit after spectacularly failing an agility test.

Dogs participating in the contest on Finnish TV show Koira Mestari - which loosely translates as "Dog Champion" - are supposed to navigate an obstactle course of strategically placed distractions, such as plates of food, balls and plush toys.

With their focus and willpower on the line, some dogs pass with flying colours, running directly to their owners when called.

But this Golden Retreiver had other ideas - see for yourself.
