Weather reporter's hungry dog interrupts live TV report looking for treats

For any longtime viewers of Global Toronto, weatherman Anthony Farnell's reliable weather forecasts have become an institution...almost as much as his adorable pup, "Storm the Weather Dog."

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.

Both consummate professionals, Anthony finished his segment without a hitch while Storm sated his hunger (and mugged a bit for the camera)...all in a day's work!

You can watch Anthony, Storm, and the rest of the Global Toronto team weekdays at 5:30 and 6:00 eastern time, only on Global!

'storm' is exactly what you'd expect a weatherman to name their dog

[Sam-mhmc]

Every time he says "storms" you can see the pup looking at his dad all confused. So cute

[lilbitatl]

I just noticed that he didn’t come into the picture until the meteorologist said “storms.” 😂 He thought he called him!

I live in Toronto and "Storm" has been part of Global news since the first day he popped his head up during a live broadcast. People in Toronto love him!!!

What a good boy. He doesn’t really interrupt him, just watches his owner and checks out the scene

[KimberleyB]

TV news broadcasts everywhere should be required to have random dog cameos.

Love how the weatherman didn’t miss a beat and continued as if the dog wasn’t there. And kudos to Storm who didn’t make a sound. Most dogs bark if they are ignored. Very professional.

My dog Wilson is Storms biological Dad! He’s 13 this year and still going strong 😊

[corinn]

unprofessional.. weather dogs should never bring their humans on to the set 🤣❤️

Animals always remind us that whatever we’re doing, it’s not important 😆

[Vivalarosa]

What a cute little dog.
Storm is literally walking on air for treats. He's defining gravity.

I love when the weatherman said storms in the area....the dog Storm was like you callled? I'm here...🤣🥰

[leesah]

I'm not sure I heard a single word of what he said, Storm had all my attention, lol

[Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

I’ve watched Storm since he was just a tiny puppy. He’s a regular on Global News. Cute pupper!

[Klyce]

Wow now that's a meteorologist. Completely unfazed by his dog and just rolls with it.

[M_SC]

Storm: humans are cute, look at mine, talking to himself and doing a little dance.

[redherringbone]

What a cutie. And so well mannered! My dog would be whining and huffing and puffing for more treats.

[tmvt]

Storm deserves lots of treats and belly rubs for being so patient. He stole the show.🐶🧡🐾

[realmusic]

I just think every weather person should have an animal assistant. Storm was so helpful keeping me engaged!

Dog: "WHAT the hell are you pointing at? I just see a blank wall.."
