Brazilian Grandma loses her false teeth... and discovers the dog is wearing them

A cheeky dog stole a grandmother's false teeth - and she only realised when she saw the dog wearing them.

Psychology student Anna Carolina Lima shared the funny snaps on social media after Luna stole her grandmother's false teeth in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Ms Lima, 28, who is studying at Ponta Grossa university, said the dentures disappeared during their week-long visit.

Her grandmother looked high and low for the missing teeth, before realising Luna had stolen the dentures and was holding them in her mouth, MailOnline reported.

Ms Lima told local media: 'Hours later, Luna was playing around the house in the darkness and when I called, she came to me with a cute face and her tail wagging, jumping around, but she did not have them. and they could not find them after a lengthy search

'She is very clever, she picks things up and hides them.

'Later on, I found Luna on the sofa with the teeth in her mouth, biting on them and refusing to give them up.

'I was eventually able to distract her and take them away, luckily they were not damaged.'

Ms Lima said her and her grandmother could not stay mad at Luna, and that they 'all love animals'.
