The white dog feasted on what it thought was a sweet treat while perched upon a mattress, in a clip released by the Tulsa Fire Department.

They said: "Be careful - you may have items in your home that can lead to a disaster if not properly handled!

"We responded to a house fire in May that was caused by a damaged lithium-ion battery.

"While the home was significantly damaged, their two dogs and cat escaped the home uninjured through a dog door.
