Dog owner pranks sleeping pup with rubber ducks

A sleeping dog from Italy has been filmed fast asleep with eight rubber ducks balanced on his body, as part of a prank by his owner. In the clip, the bull terrier, named Sparky, can be seen sleeping on his back after his owner, Silvio Parise Salvan, placed the toys on him - including one on his nose.

Commenting on the trickery, Parise Salvan said: "He sleeps and snores a lot. I thought of making this joke to see if Sparky remained sleeping motionless."
