His owner says: 'Titan be good' as the dog throws his head back and tries to bite the insect in midair.
The curious butterfly doesn't seem to mind the huge animal, and continues to hover round it, landing occasionally.
It lands on the pooch again, this time in between his eyes, as his owner warns: 'Titan, don't bite the butterfly.'

As the pair become more familiar with each other, their contact becomes longer and the dog appears more at ease.
When the butterfly begins to glide into the air, the Doberman watches, and his owner says: 'You've got a new best friend.'
