BBC

BBC meteorologist Carol Kirkwood gave her weather report from a tranquil beach on Thursday, with a dog meandering behind her.

“It will be hot and humid, not quite as hot and humid as it’s going to be in the next few days,” she reported, as that meandering dog stopped to squat.

That dog, Connie, belongs to a producer at the BBC, the network reported. And Connie was just peeing.

At least Connie just peed. In January, a college student tried to tackle the Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore. This was a bad idea. Do not try to tackle Jim Cantore.
