One daft dog loves nil more than squashing its nose against surfaces to get attention.

The owners of naughty pup Leo spent hundreds on vets bills to make sure his habit wasn't a symptom of brain harm.

But the ii-yr-old pooch was merely diagnosed equally being a "silly and healthy goofball".

Leo's owner Christine Holierhoek, 27, said: "My boyfriend and I just couldn't stop laughing when we saw him do information technology.

"I call up he just loves the attention."

Christine, from Bodegraven in the Netherlands, got Leo from a subcontract when he was a tiny puppy, and immediately fell in love.

She said: "I was at a very low bespeak in my life and I thought that a domestic dog would force me to become outside again.

"I look inside the barn and I but saw two blue eyes looking at me and he immediately ran towards me and jumped upward.

"Leo was the starting time puppy that jumped up to me and I just knew that I had to take him dwelling house.

"My swain didn't know, so I had some explaining to practice when I got domicile!

Christine said she knew straight away that Leo was the domestic dog for her (

"His personality was, and still is, super sweet, not afraid of annihilation, confident and goofy.

While trying to crate-train their new pet, Christine and boyfriend Remi, 32, noticed him autumn asleep with his nose pressed against the bars.

After that, Leo learned to squash his snout upon things that he wants; the door to signal he wants to become exterior, or the sofa when he wants to have a nap.

Nursing pupil Christine said: "After reading some manufactures most it I got worried considering information technology is also a sign of bad health and then we took a visit to the vet.
