Cleaning the house can be an arduous task at the best of times but when your pet is determined to stop you from mopping the floor it can be a torturous experience.

A playful puppy discovers a new domestic toy in this amusing video and he grows rather attached to it - much to the annoyance of his owner.

The woman in the footage is trying to clean her living room floor with a mop but her lovable, playful dog is having none of it as he follows, bites and rubs up against the cleaning utensil.

Disruption: The pup's owner initially laughs at his behaviour as he chews on her mop

During the opening moments of the video the woman seems slightly enamoured by her pup's behaviour as she laughs and giggles as he hunts down her mop.

It becomes obvious, however, as the footage continues that the pups relentless actions begin to irritate her.

The woman lifts the mop up in the air to try to get it way from the pup but he jumps up after it and moments later he is pulling it towards him with his mouth and biting it once again.
