Dogs Are Camera Loving
The incident involving Ilona Linarte and the dog that snuck onto the set of her late-night newscast serves to illustrate the effect animals have on getting people to watch TV. It has been widely observed that magazines featuring animals on the cover tend to have increased sales, and this same phenomenon may be at play when animals suddenly show up on live television.
Despite the potential for chaotic scenes, news networks continue to use animals in their programming, likely because it brings in more viewers. This incident serves as a valuable lesson in the need to maintain self-control in difficult situations.
