Dog invades soccer pitch, only wants belly rubs, thanks

We've had our fair share of dogs invading sports fields, and boy, we don't think they'll ever get old.

In the Republic of Georgia's National Football League, a stray dog ran onto the pitch during a game between FC Dila and Torpedo Kutaisi in Gori on Sunday, according to the Associated Press.

Like the other good pitch-invading dogs that have come before it, this pooch was very reluctant to leave the field, staying for approximately three minutes.

In fact, all it seemed to want was a pat, a play, and a big ol' belly rub from the goalkeeper, who unfortunately didn't give what it wanted. Next time, maybe.
