When Jake's owner returned home, he was met with an unusual silence. Why wasn't his young Labrador Retriever waiting for him at the door?
"What I saw horrified me! He didn't greet me, which is very unusual. And then, I understood why," he explained.
In a video that has since gone viral on the account "jakein.de", we discover exactly why the dog was so quiet.
A messy surprise
It turns out that while his owner was away, Jake had been getting up to a bit of mischief. The dog decided to have a good rummage through the bin and do some 'grand unboxing' of his own.
The video's creator found rubbish strewn all over his house.
An honest mistake
In an interview with Newsweek, Jake's owner, Mohit, explained that he "had left the bin in the hallway to take it out with him, but he forgot it and left without it. That's when his dog decided to take care of it for him, but not in the right way."
