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

[@kingjames4886]

when the weather man pokes his head out the door and you're not sure if they're calling their dog or reporting the weather...

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

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

That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm like I wonder if he usually comes over when he hears "storms" or "thunderstorm". 😂

Also, while not really get it, he kinda knew his owner is doing some sort of work (busy), and patiently waiting

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!!!

I love his dog! Everyone should have their pets on set. I might start watching Canadian weather just for his dog, and to learn Celsius.

[@walkwithmeASMR]

I'm from England and can't do Fahrenheit to save my life. Celsius is easy. 0 is freezing point. Nice and simple. Ha

[@analizaadelmann1015]

Me too … Dog on the weather forecast please 🥰❤️❤️❤️ love you Storm

[@kmw4359]

Easiest conversion if starting from Fahrenheit is to subtract 32 then divide the result by 2 to get the Celsius equivalent. (Actual formula has 9/5 not 2, but for mental math, 2 is close enough and will get you a rough approximation). Going from Celsius, multiply by 2 then add 32 to get Fahrenheit.

[@SummerFlowyYT]

celsius is easy.
