This Morning host Phillip Schofield got more than he bargained for when he bonded with an adorable little dog on Tuesday.
Pablo appeared on the show in a segment about puppies and dogs being placed up for adoption by their owners, with this significantly rising during lockdown.
Little Pablo was joined by Buddy and their furry friend Taz, all of whom had been taken in after their owners could no longer care for them for different reasons including financial issues.
Niall Lester of New Hope Animal Rescue appeared on the show to urge people to adopt puppies in need of a home, instead of shopping for them, due to the huge increase in dogs needing homes since lockdown.
He also revealed the horrifying truth that many healthy dogs were being put down because their owners could no longer care for them, with him urging people not to do this.
Little Pablo wasn't content with chilling like his pooch pals, and started to walk across the sofa and onto Holly Willoughby's lap.
But it was Phil that the pup seemed to take a liking too, running over and chilling by him - as viewers urged the host to adopt him.
Suddenly Phillip was heard laughing as Pablo sparked chaos, knocking his scripts and cushions off the sofa before staring cheekily at the camera.
Phillip did his best to settle the adorable dog, but he suddenly decided to take a detour and tried to get around the back of the sofa.
As the host grabbed his lead and tried to encourage him back to the front, little Pablo wouldn't budge and kept running off.
As the camera panned away from Phil, he could be heard giggling in the background as he struggled to get him under control.
Eventually little Pablo went back to join Buddy and Taz, with viewers in love with the three dogs.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "Come on @Schofe you know you want to adopt Pablo."
Another said: "Awwwww, little Pablo."
A third added: "Taz, Pablo and Buddy are absolutely gorgeous. I want them all. I hope they get their loving forever home."
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
