Kathryn Sumpter will probably think twice about leaving her dog Duke to his own devices for several hours at a time in the future.

When she left for work recently, she assumed that her furry friend would be napping all day – but a look at the surveillance camera not only horrified her, but also parts of the internet.

In a video posted by the dog's owner on TikTok, which has since garnered viral fame, Sumpter revealed what Duke had actually been up to all day.

The clip shows the dog dashing across the sofa in the living room as if stung.

In between, the four-legged friend makes a detour into the adjoining kitchen, where he even steals kitchen utensils, before dashing back to the couch.

Duke's rampage leaves a mess in its wake, with cushions and blankets flying in all directions – but somehow the pup is still bursting with energy.

Further footage shows how the dog's bed also falls victim to his attack, with Duke chewing on it and dragging it from one corner to the other.

TikTok users were amused in the comments about how the Golden passed the time on his own, with many users making fun of the mess the four-legged friend had made.
