The dog disrupted the broadcast

A weatherman in the US was attacked by a dog live on air.

Forecaster Mike Sobel was trying to present to viewers in Edmonton when he was joined by a dog called Ripple, which was in a disruptive mood from the outset.

The dog refused to heed the orders of the broadcaster, who asked Ripple to sit down while he tried to finish presenting the weather.

All seemed to be fine initially, with Sobel joking, ''Ripple wants to play.''

However, things took a turn for the worst when Ripple managed to bite through the lead and set himself free.

The incident caused Sobel, who was struggling to cope with the disobedient dog, to bring the broadcast to an abrupt end.
