A pet dog threw a tantrum to get his owner to play his favourite TV show on the iPad.

Chelsea Lim, 24, was watching a Korean drama on her iPad when pet dog Moji attacked the screen to get her to play Bluey.

A video shows Moji, a Shiatzu, scratching the screen of the iPad until Chelsea changes the program to the popular Aussie animated series.

Chelsea, a marketing employee in Manila, Philippines, said: "My dog knew that the iPad I was using is also the he uses to watch Bluey.

"When he saw I was watching a Korean drame, he started scratching his paws digging on my iPad.

"That's the tantrums he throws when he wants to watch Bluey."

Chelsea explained that watching Bluey in the evening is now part of Moji's bed time routine.

The three-year-old Shiatzu usually watches one episode before he goes to bed and has been doing so for about a month.

Chelsea said: "It all started when I was browsing for a show on Netflix and he saw images of the dog from Marley & Me.

"I was shocked that he could actually understand what was on the TV what's on the TV so I decided to look for a show that he might like and that was Bluey."

The video was filmed on October 7.
