A timid greyhound's fruitless attempts to chomp down on a green bean was caught on camera by his hysterical owners - after they discovered the hapless pooch is 'scared' of the crunchy veg. Elise Jones filmed the hilarious footage after her dog Monty used his 'puppy dog eyes' to secure some scraps from Sunday dinner.
After giving him a green bean, the 23-year-old property administrator was left howling with laughter at watching Monty struggle to gobble down the bean, resorting to 'gently nibbling' away at it on the floor. Monty's struggle lasted for more than five minutes, during which he was given a second helping to tackle - that resulted in him coughing it back up.
Elise believes the failed race hound, who is also wary of broccoli, is likely scared of the crunchy vegetable due to its texture and is yet to get his head, or mouth, round them. Elise, from Ipswich, Suffolk, said: "He's mastered begging for food. He'll sit beside you while you're having dinner - he's got the puppy dog eyes down for sure.
