According to a Russian TV reporter, she chased a dog directly on the air last week after the cheeky dog snatched her microphone from her hands and chased her away.
Mir TV anchor Elina Dashkueva sat wide-eyed in the studio for a moment while reporter Nadezhda Serezhkina ran after the golden retriever with the stolen equipment, Mediaite reported.
Footage uploaded on social media shows the dog jumping into the air to grab Serezhkina’s microphone during her live recording.

“It looks like we lost touch with our correspondent,” Dashkueva reportedly told viewers as Serezhkina station drove away, according to Mediaite. “We will try to contact her.”
Serezhkina and the apparently stray dog met each other later in the broadcast on camera – this time in a planned appearance where she knelt next to the pooch who seemed much more comfortable.
According to the reporter, no one was injured in the incident, but her “microphone took a bite or two.”
She added that Moscow’s warm spring weather is perfect for walking a dog, according to the Washington Examiner.
