News staff works hard to bring factual news to the public. However, even in their serious job, a lot of unexpected things happen. In some cases, they’re casual mistakes done by reporters and anchors, but the most unexpected would be if someone or something interrupts them during a live shoot.

Most of the time they’re astonishingly hilarious, but there are instances that they could be quite adorable.

For adorable I mean, a random puppy crashing in a weather report.

Pets appearing on camera happens quite frequently on live broadcasts, especially during the lockdown. However, a random puppy from the neighborhood being interested in a weather report was quite the spectacle.

This weather report is crazier than normal.

It happened just recently on FOX 5 that was trying to investigate the snow’s current situation in Leesburg Town, Virginia. When the anchors called to Bob Bernard, the reporter on location, he was quick to share with everyone the details of his report. The start went smooth but crazy things kept happening by the second.

The first one is a ridiculous request from a resident.

Bob was explaining how the icy situation rendered some cars’ windows frozen. He was bringing a scraper with him to go along with the anchor, Steve Chenevey’s joke about making some money during his report.

Surprisingly, that became true when someone from the neighborhood offered $20 for him to scrape the ice from his car.

When he excitedly took the offer, Steve then named Bob’s business ‘Bob’s Ice Scraping Services,’ and he made the people back in the studio laugh in the background for the whole duration.

The ridiculousness doesn’t end here.

Bob went back to continue with his weather report, but an unexpected intruder suddenly went running to greet him. The reporter was amused by the random puppy that he then tried to pick it up.

It took some time to grab the energetic pup, but eventually, he caught it off guard.

His report got even more sidetracked, even listeners might forget what his main purpose really was.

“Forget the people we talked to earlier! I want to get to know this dog,” Bob jokingly yelled while rocking the adorable puppy in his arms.

The puppy became the center of attention and took over the weather report.

With the puppy showing its charm on camera, it quickly became the focus during the broadcast. It was as if you’re watching a variety show all of a sudden.

The puppy could be seen licking Bob’s face as well as playing with him. The anchor was too amused that he couldn’t help but expand Bob’s Ice Scraping business, adding “…and Kernel Services” at the end.

Soon, the owner came to bring the puppy back home.

The owner finally noticed that her pup managed to sneak outside their gate and was interrupting a live report. She came to apologize and bring her playful pet back home. The owner was then asked to share the pup’s name. She said he was named Pierogi.

With Pierogi’s playfulness and cuteness, clips of the report immediately went viral on the internet.
