Adorable Dog Storms International Soccer Match To Demand Belly Rubs—And Has To Be Carried Off

Adorable Dog Storms International Soccer Match To Demand Belly Rubs—And Has To Be Carried Off
TNT Sports Chile/Twitter

The news has been filled to the brim with headlines and events that seem chosen by a team of writers specifically to stress us out.

Like if the writing teams from Sons of Anarchy, Shameless, Game of Thrones, and Empire all got together and wrote a script. And then that script had a baby with something by Stephen King. And then that stressful script baby joined forces with Jordan Peele horror script.


And that's just this week.

But we promise things aren't all a raging dumpster fire. People are still finding kindness. Beyoncé dropped new music.

Oh yeah, and the internet is in love with a soccer-loving dog who isn't afraid to cause the cutest international incident ever for some belly rubs.

Chilean and Venezuelan national women's soccer teams faced off this week in a match in Curicó, Chile. The game itself was a tough one - with neither team giving up any points to the other.

The players gave their all, but the real MVP wasn't a player at all.

Or even human.

It was this little fuzzbucket:

After the ball gets kicked off the field, the black dog sees it's chance and heads out onto the field. It makes sense, the players aren't busy at the moment and have time for all the petpets.

The pup charms a few players into belly rubs and little scratchies, while dodging attempts to pick it up so the women can get back to the game.

It did eventually let someone carry it off the field, but had to do a few prancing and playful laps around first.

Twitter isn't sure if this dog belongs to someone at the match or if it's one of the many strays in the area. What people are sure about is the sudden desire for puppy time to be a thing in all sporting events.

Like we said, the dog is the real MVP here.

Wouldn't everything be a thousand times more enjoyable if it involved random dogs running in for belly rubs?

Would anything be made worse by a random happy dog showing up?

'Dr. Pimple Popper' Star Reveals She Suffered Stroke While Filming Series: 'I Had A Part Of My Brain That Died'

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Kid Rock Dragged After Offering Massive Discount To His MAGA Festival Due To Abysmal Ticket Sales

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
