 These are Britain's most mischievous dogs, whose antics include destroying £9,000 worth of furniture and even setting their homes on fire. Cooper, eight, was dubbed the country's naughtiest dog in 2020, beating thepooch population of 13 million to the title, after owners Jill and Steve Kirkham, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, revealed how the badly behaved boxer has wreaked havoc on their home over the years. Jill, 56, claims Cooper has chewed through just under £9,000 worth of living room items, including eight sofas, two dining room tables, 10 remote controls and mobile phones. Despite his previous troublemaking tendencies, though, she reckons Cooper has calmed down with age and is on the right path to obedience. Cleaning supervisor Jill said: 'You can't take your eyes off him for a second or he'll be up to no good. 'He has cost us an arm and a leg, but I wouldn't have him any other way. He is my best friend and the most loving dog.'

Both the dog and its owner made full recoveries after being treated from smoke inhalation, but the local fire service has pleaded for more consideration of electrical appliances before leaving the house – especially when animals are involved. A firefighter commented: 'Once you've finished with any electrical appliances such as hairdryers and straighteners, please take a moment to unplug them.
