@mdlozman shared some advice:

@Makgatho18 asked:

"Sorry about that. I'm tempted to ask if you use meat flavoured car polish?"

SA has hilarious response to man after puppy wrecks living room: "Love this"

In other canine news, Briefly News previously reported that a popular adage goes suggests that when days are dark, friends are few. Another well-known one posits that a dog is a man's best friend.

Together these sayings reveal a telling truth, that even in one's darkest days, a furry friend will never turn its back on you. However, a local guy saw first-hand just how destructive his domestic animal could be as he got the reminder that no matter the situation, a dog will remain a messy creature at best.

Turning to social media, the dog-lover, @CJSteyl, shared an image of a wrecked living room, notably with a pot plant mercilessly sprawled on the floor.
