A dog led a solo pitch invasion during a Georgian top division match on Sunday, halting play as he requested a belly rub from one of the goalkeepers.
The referee officiating the match between Dila and Torpedo Kutaisi was forced to stop play as the hound appeared from the stands as the 'keeper was set to take a goal kick.
Despite the efforts of the players on the pitch the dog - who appeared very comfortable under the spotlight - seemed very keen to get involved in proceedings.
The canine seemed to take a particular liking to the Torpedo 'keeper, rolling on his back inviting him to rub his belly and playfully trying to nibble on his glove.
A member of the Torpedo team seemed convinced they finally lured the dog away from the game as he stepped off the field of play, but the hound gives him a dummy and runs back on to the pitch.
