It was necessary to temporarily halt a professional football match in Bolivia when a dog rushed onto the pitch and refused to leave for a period of time. One of the players eventually adopted the dog, which was later reunited with its owner.
It took many minutes for a dog to go onto the pitch with a football boot in its jaws during a football game between the teams The Strongest and Nacional Potosi in Potosi on December 24, forcing the game to be stopped.
A video of the event, which is now making the rounds on the internet, shows officials and players rushing after the canine suspect. Eventually, one of the players scooped up the canine and took it to the sidelines of the stadium.
Raul Castro, a member of the team The Strongest, subsequently declared that he would adopt the dog, according to local news.
