Who’s a good boy?: You won’t guess who stole the spotlight on Sunrise!

Live TV moments are often unpredictable, but sometimes something happens that takes everyone by surprise.

A seemingly ordinary broadcast took an unexpected turn this week, leaving viewers both puzzled and entertained.

What happened next is sure to leave you scratching your head.


Sunrise viewers were treated to an unexpected surprise when a furry friend appeared on set during a live broadcast on Wednesday morning.

The Channel Seven breakfast show, known for welcoming a range of guests, had a very special visitor when a dog casually wandered across the studio.

As the tan-coloured pooch passed behind anchors Monique Wright and Michael Usher at 6.41am, the camera caught the dog’s brief moment of fame.

Mark Beretta had just wrapped up his sports segment, and the team seemed completely unaware as they continued discussing the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia.


However, sharp-eyed viewers caught a glimpse of the dog as it strolled across the set before exiting out of frame.

Despite the unexpected cameo, the hosts remained calm and composed, carrying on with their duties as though nothing had happened.

Monique, however, did appear to notice the dog just moments before its brief appearance on screen.


In a subtle move, she reached beneath her desk to pet the pooch, quickly pulling her hand back as the camera shifted back to her.

The dog, seemingly unaware of the live broadcast, wandered off-stage without any fanfare.

The hosts never acknowledged the dog's presence, nor did they address the surprise visit in any way.


When contacted for comment, Channel Seven confirmed that the dog belonged to Monique Wright.

This wasn’t the first time Sunrise had an awkward moment during a live broadcast.

In December, reporter Katie Brown found herself in a cringe-worthy situation when she mistakenly referred to a teacher as a student during a live cross at a Sydney school.


Katie had been speaking to a student at St John Paul II Catholic College about their HSC results when she tapped a nearby female on the shoulder.

‘Who have we got here?’ Katie asked, mistaking the teacher for another student.

After the teacher introduced herself as Mrs. Canning, Katie jokingly asked her about her own HSC results.


The teacher, however, politely turned the focus back to the students, saying, ‘I’m really proud of them. They did really well and worked really hard.’

Katie quickly recovered and joked, ‘You are also ageing very well, I mistook you for a student.’

Despite these slip-ups, both hosts and reporters on Sunrise handled their live TV blunders with professionalism.
