A 'dead' dog has been returned to its astonished owners after it dug its way out of a shallow grave at a pet cemetery.

Dik, 18, was given a funeral by his owners in the village of Novonikolsk, in Russia's far eastern Primorsky Krai region, after being found motionless on his blanket.

But it is understood that he woke up shortly after being buried, dug his way out of the grave, and made his way to a nearby motorway.
