A miniature dachshund with a taste for cushions and wooden doors has been named Britain's naughtiest dog after causing more than £1,000 of damage to his owner's home.
Despite measuring just eight inches tall, Rolo has chewed his way through countless pillows, bin bags and even a pair of hair straighteners since being brought home by owner Kelly Mobbs.
The mischievous dog has torn his way through the family's home in Leicester and even destroyed wooden doors by nibbling at them when home alone.
Rolo, a three-year-old miniature dachshund, has caused more than £1,000 worth of damage to his owner's home in Leicester
Despite being scolded for his bad behaviour, the unrepentant pooch is consistently leaving a trail of destruction behind him.
'He has always been so mischievous. Rolo is just a cheeky type of dog.
'He is so bossy and likes to think he is in control of us,' said Ms Mobbs who lives with her 12-year-old twin sons and partner.
Among household items destroyed by the diminutive pet is a £100 set of hair straighteners, the legs of kitchen chairs, wires and a weight bench.
'There was a sliding wooden door covering a cupboard where the freezer is and he pulled that down and chewed it,' said Ms Mobbs who owns another miniature dachshund, Bella.
While his owners have attempted to discipline him for the constant destruction, Rolo is defiant in his determination to wreck his surroundings, they say.

The dog, which is one of two in the family's house, is worst behaved when left alone in the house
'I do tell him off but it doesn’t make a difference. He just gives you a look and it makes you melt because he looks so cute.
'I think it is down to the breed because I know someone else who has a miniature dachshund and they say they are similar,' said his owner.
Chalking his rebellious behaviour down to 'little dog syndrome', she added: 'They want to be in control so that can make them a bit naughty at times.'
The defiant dog regularly shrugs off his owners' attempts at discipline, they said, and is unrepentant in the face of punishment
Rolo a nationwide competition to find Britain's naughtiest dog and took home £150 for his owners in prize money
While Ms Mobbs plans to spend the money on chew toys for her mischievous pet, she said she did not think they would stand up against Rolo's restless jaws
Rolo was crowned Britain’s naughtiest dog after a competition by interior design company Terry’s Fabrics.
The £150 prize money does little to cover the cost of all the damage he has caused but, said Ms Mobbs, will be put towards buying some new chew toys - not that they'll do much to satisfy his appetite.
'Even the strongest rubber toys that you expect to last long don’t end up staying whole for very long with him around,' she said.
