‘ME? BUT I LOOK SO CUTE, DON’T I?’

- CATHY OWEN Reporter cathy.owen@walesonlin­e.co.uk

LAYLA may seem to be a picture of innocence judging by her face alone... but just look at the scene of destructio­n behind her! The mess of ripped up cushions is just one of the reasons the mixed-breed pup, from Haverfordw­est, has been named the “UK’s naughtiest dog”.

Another reason is that the one-yearold has destroyed more than 20 pairs of shoes.

Pet owners across the UK have been sharing hilarious images as part of a nationwide competitio­n by contents insurance providers, So-sure, with the owner of “the UK’s naughtiest pet” receiving a £200 Next voucher to replace those slightly chewed soft furnishing­s, and Layla was named the winner after judges heard about her antics.

The judges said: “She has been caught destroying all the cushions on the sofa and covering the living room in feathers.

“The £200 Next voucher might not last too long at the rate this pup goes through shoes, as she has apparently destroyed over 20 pairs!”

Layla beat competitio­n from more than 150 entries, which organisers said made choosing a winner very difficult, but added: “The look on Layla’s face with the trail of destructio­n behind her made her a worthy winner.”

The team behind the competitio­n have also shared some of the rest of the hilarious entries, that will strike a chord with many dog owners.

Here are the best of the rest:

Evie from Leeds almost looks proud she has chewed through the family goal nets;

Daisy was caught raiding the kitchen back when she was two;

Shelby chewed a rather large hole in her owner’s favourite reading spot;

This naughty bulldog from Chelmsford likes to help himself to cushions when the covers are in the wash;

Orion and Cleo, two kittens from Portsmouth, have made a game out of removing and shredding all the toilet paper in the house;

This creative sausage dog has fashioned herself a sleeping bag out of a pillow; and

This cheeky pup from Bournemout­h was kindly given an old mattress topper for a new bed, but he had other ideas.
