During the soccer match that took place between Blooming and Nacional Potos in Bolivia the week before, an unexpected player made their way onto the field. According to The Dodo, one of the police dogs that was helping with security got bored of watching people run around chasing a ball without him, and so he decided to stretch his legs and join in on the fun himself.
The rambunctious dog ran onto the field and made a beeline for the ball as soon as he set foot on it. He then displayed some impressive dribbles and dodges before snatching it in his mouth and running off with it. Sadly, the other players were not amused by this illegal move and started to try and stop him, much to the delight of the fans and commentators watching the game who were watching it.
The canine was eventually apprehended and removed from the playing area, which allowed the game to continue and the animal police officer to return to his regular duties. We have no way of knowing whether or not there were any repercussions for his actions. The comical dog’s ecstatic grin, on the other hand, reveals that he felt the experience was well worthwhile.
This is not the first time that an animal has sneaked its way into the game of its own volition. Although the players usually wait calmly for the officials to remove the new member of the opposing team, there are times when they have to help clear the field themselves.
