A video taken on a mobile phone of a dog called Fenton chasing deer in Richmond Park has gone viral.

Now the search is on for Fenton's owner to come forward and reap the accolades of being the star in one of the most amusing YouTube videos shown.

It appears as if Fenton was being taken for a walk on Richmond Park in South West London when he gave chase to a herd of deer.

The deer run across a road, forcing traffic to stop, with Benton in hot pursuit as his puffing, middle-aged owner yells futile orders for the dog to cease and desist.

Fortunately no deer were injured, which is not always the case when irresponsible owners let potentially dangerous animals off their leads. According to a spokesperson for the park, dogs kill at least six animals a year.
