Live television can give us unexpected funny moments, and that's just happened with BBC journalist Carol Kirkwood. Ms Kirkwood, a BBC weather presenter, was pulled over by her guide dog during a live telecast on Monday morning. The video has been shared by the media house and Ms Kirkwood herself. There we see Ms Kirkwood holding the Labrador by its leash. Just as she signs off, the dog decides to hurry beyond the scene. In the process, it pulls down the reporter who falls on her face right in front of the camera.
