What a dog’s dinner! Hilarious moment golden retriever steals family’s Christmas turkey before woman chases him through field in futile bid to get it back

This is the hilarious moment a dog stole Christmas – by running off with the turkey.

The footage was filmed on Christmas Eve in Armagh, Northern Ireland, when the woman in the video was dropping off presents at her friend’s house.

When she got back into her car, she could hear her daughter saying ‘no Chuck, no’ and, when she looked around, the Golden Retriever had run off with the turkey.

She chased the dog into the field to get it back but had to leave empty-handed as the dog wouldn’t let go.

Luckily, after a trip to the butcher explaining what happened, the woman was able to get an emergency turkey in time for Christmas Day.

The woman, who doesn’t want to be named, said: ‘My immediate reaction was ‘my husband is going to kill me’ and I am going to have to get another bloody turkey.

‘He had the whole turkey in his mouth and he was not letting go.

‘I chased him around the field but gave up and left as he was not letting go.

‘Luckily we got another one on Christmas Eve.’
