“Oh, excuse me,” one of the announcers said with a laugh. ”Now that’s definitely against the rules.”

Kratu was participating in the rescue dogs’ agility course, which is a non-competitive event and doesn’t have strict timing rules, Metro reported.

“What a rascal!” one of the announcers said. “Absolute rascal.”
