These were the scenes a South African puppy owner came home to after the infant pooch knocked over a can of paint and bounded around the house.

Footage from May 4 shows the white pawprints and residual paint across the home.

Owner Andrew said: "[I] was a total shock and friends thought it was funny.

"I left my dog Scamp inside for the day after having him for four days and he knocked over a can of paint and the paint lid popped and leaked out so he ran up and down to the window in it."
