A dog in Canada has gone viral after wandering into the frame as his human presented a weather report. Anthony Farnell, chief meteorologist for Global News, was on-air when his puppy interrupted him, reports USA Today. Footage of the moment has gone viral on social media, with general consensus being that the weather report was only made better by the addition of the mini goldendoodle.
In the viral video, Storm the goldendoodle can be seen wandering onto the green screen set, possibly in search of something to eat.
"Yes, Storm is in the building, getting some treats, walking on thin air," Mr Farnell joked as the pup wandered across the screen, looking curiously at his owner from time to time.
"Last Friday, a hungry-for-treats Storm invaded the set in the middle of Anthony's weather report, demanding treats even as Farnell was explaining to Ontarians what weather they would be facing that weekend, and discussed the dangers posed by Hurricane Ida further south," Global News wrote while sharing the video on YouTube Tuesday.
The video also made its way to other social media platforms like Twitter, where people could not stop laughing after watching the curious dog.

And many more praised the dog's good behaviour.
That's amazing. So good. The dog is like what are you pointing at? Dude there is nothing there?

I fail to see the "problem" ...unless you meant that the cute little pupper isn't getting enough attention.

Last year, another attention-loving pet had gone viral on social media. FOX WTVT's meteorologist Paul Dellegatto was filming a segment at his Florida home when his golden retriever Brody knocked into his computer and jumped onto his lap.
