VIDEO: Barking dog gives Oliver Giroud a ‘ruff’ time of by interrupting interview

Must be Mario Balotelli's mutt

We’ll let you in on a journalistic secret.

When you’re trying to do an interview you should really make sure there’s no obvious distractions or noise around that might annoy your subject, or ruin those precious golden quotes you’re after.

However even the best prepared plans can go to shite as happened in this interview with Arsenal’s Oliver Giroud ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League clash with Chelsea.

The Frenchman was being asked the standard questions about the game when his answers were interrupted by a dog of all things.

Not just a dog but a seemingly disembodied canine barking from the blackness surrounding the striker and his interrogator Dickie Davies.

The Arsenal man does his best to continue but it must rank up there as one of the oddest reason for stopping an interview ever.

It’s believed the barking went on for a whole five minutes

Maybe next time Sky shouldn’t do their interviews to camera next to the local dog pound in North London.
