Excited Dog Joins TV Weather Forecast
Published on December 01, 2014
King, a 1-year-old American Bulldog, couldn’t wait to appear in the Pet of the Week segment on NBC 6 of South Florida on Saturday. The enthusiastic dog, who’s up for adoption through the local group Pooches in Pines, interrupted meteorologist Ryan Phillips’ report. Phillips was happy to play along when King surprised him by hopping up on the weather desk and joining him on screen. “How are ya, buddy? It’s not your turn yet! You have to wait one more segment, OK?” Phillips told King. “Just let me do the weather. I know you’re stoked — so are we.” Maybe King took a cue from Ripple, the Shepherd mix who made a boisterous appearance in a weather report on the Canadian broadcast Global Edmonton’s Morning News that went viral in October. — Watch it at NBC Washington
