This is the moment a Scottish teenager was left in a fit of giggles when her overly-excited dog dived through her open car window – nearly knocking itself out.
Bethany Raeburn, 19, had been waiting for a lift home when over-eager Badger, her two-year-old spaniel-collie cross, made a leap for the driver’s seat through the open window.
Bethany had been at the stable with her horse Bamba when she decided to enjoy a quiet few minutes before her drive home.
The lively support dog had spotted its owner enjoying a quiet cup of tea in the car and desperate to join in, the dog dived onto Bethany’s lap – causing her to spill her drink.
Hilarous footage shows the faithful pooch flinging himself at the open window, smashing his head off the roof – somehow managing to fit through as his body spins in mid-air.

Bethany, from Kelso, Scotland said: ‘I was shocked as he dived through the window, but nothing should shock me now as it’s exactly the kind of thing Badger would do.
‘He even made me spill my tea.

‘Badger’s not a small dog – he’s actually quite big. When he banged his head on the car door, I was worried he’d have concussion, but he was fine.’
Bethany was worried her friend would be furious at her dog’s dusty paw prints in her car, but Badger was actually doing his job by making the 19-year-old horse rider laugh.
Bethany and Badger have worked together since he was a puppy to help calm her social anxiety and keep her heart rate steady.

Bethany said her dog is ‘daft as a brush’ and ‘asbolutely bonkers’ but that he always makes her laugh
‘He does silly little things all the time. He’s still very much a puppy,’ she said.
‘He’s daft as a brush. Absolutely bonkers, exceptionally clumsy and has such a lust for life.
‘He doesn’t really think things through – he just does them.’
