His tail was wagging like mad. He was clearly happy with himself. I don't think he wanted to escape, I think he was just bored and looking for something to do."At first I wasn't happy with him.

I was shocked at what he had done. To be honest I didn't know if I should laugh or cry at the situation. The pictures were funny, they actually looked photoshopped."But the reality was, he had chewed a hole in our door so I was raging."It's going to cost £400 and we've had to board it up now whilst we wait on it getting sorted."Wayne's had Angel since he was six weeks old.He added: "He's a great dog.

He's just a big excitable bundle of joy. People are intimidated by him because of his size, but really he's just a lovely, big dog.
