Moment a grandmother is tackled to the ground by her over-enthusiastic puppy – captured on camera by a Ring doorbell
This is the moment a grandmother gets kicked to the ground by her over-excited puppy.
The footage, captured by a Ring doorbell, shows Debra Martin taking out the trash as her Golden Retriever Teddy lunges at the 54-year-old woman, knocking her to the ground.
The grandmother from Kelty, Scotland had stopped a game of tag between her one-year-old dog and her eight-year-old granddaughter Zoey.
Chaos ensued when Teddy, who weighs between 60 and 70 pounds, lunged at his owner as he walked back through the yard.
Mrs. Martin fell flat on her face, losing a slipper. The commotion even frightened her cat Milo, who jumped onto the roof of the barn to escape the commotion.

The grandmother fell flat on her face and lost a slipper. She said: She said: ‘Because I fell so hard, everyone thought I had hurt myself, but apart from hurting my pride, I was completely fine’
Mrs Martin was unharmed and became ‘hysterical’ when she watched the footage.
She said: ‘Because I hit the ground so hard, everyone thought I had hurt myself, but apart from the fact that my pride was hurt, I was completely fine.’
‘I had actually forgotten about the incident, but a few days later, at a party, I suddenly remembered it.
‘I asked my son-in-law how far back I could go to find the footage and he said I should be able to get all of my videos back.
‘I watched the footage a few days ago and I thought, of course, everyone was in hysterics.
‘Teddy’s only interest was finding the ball, not me. Nothing. Zero. He loves his treats, but he’s just obsessed with tennis balls.
“There’s nothing in the world he loves more than that ball.”
Teddy is just a puppy, but the average weight of a one-year-old Golden Retriever of 60 to 70 pounds is more than enough to make an impression at high speed.
Mrs Martoin added: ‘He’s a big dog so he sometimes just forgets how big he is.
“But I love everything about him, even when he blows my socks off.”
