Television weather report of a journalist is going viral, but not because of its content. The reason millions around the world are watching and replaying a TV weather report from Leesburg town in Virginia is a puppy who interrupted the live broadcast. As Bob Barnard, a reporter at FOX 5 DC was reporting from the snow covered neighbourhood, a puppy came running towards him. The reporter picked up the pet dog and exclaimed, “Forget the people we talked to earlier! I want to get to know this dog.”
The puppy started licking Bob’s face and was playing with him. Soon, the dog’s owner walked outside to bring her pet back. Apologising to Bob, the girl said that the puppy jumped over the gate and ran away. The owner also shared that the name of the cute puppy is Pierogi.
With its cute camera presence, Pierogi captured the attention of not only Bob and his crew, but also of the studio anchors.
Before Bob ran into this puppy, he was also given $20 by a resident for the task of removing ice deposited on the latter’s car. Being a sport, Bob started doing the job using his ice scraper during the live telecast. The reporter said he is going to make some money doing this while the anchor jokingly named Bob’s business as ‘Bob’s Ice Scraping Services.’
Watched over one million times on Youtube, the video has been liked more than 8,000 times on the platform. Hundreds are commenting about the special appearance of a cute dog during the live weather report.
Appreciating Bob, a person called him a holistic reporter and said, “This guy is just a magnet for wholesome experiences.”Another commenter said that Bob is awesome. She added that Pierogi seemed to be having fun in the snow.
A YouTube was so impressed with the adorable video that he said it should be nominated for the best video of 2021. Another user Rod Malone said, “This was the best news segment I’ve seen in awhile, full of fun and happiness.”
