A dog who repeatedly invaded a football friendly in Serbia on Friday received some ruff treatment as the poor pooch was shown a red card.
The canine invader caused play to be suspended multiple times as two of Serbia's second-tier teams, Radnicki 1923 Kragujevac and Kolubara Lazarevac, faced off in a friendly.
Belgrade daily Sportski Zurnal published a photograph on its website of referee Marko Ivkovic flashing a red card to the dog, who had chased the ball relentlessly every time it ran onto the pitch before it finally scampered off.
Radnicki 1923, who top the 18-team first division standings at the winter break on 40 points from 17 games, lost 3-0 against Kolubara, who are fourth on 29 points, in the warm-up match.
The league is due to resume on February 20 - but the dog will presumably be serving a suspension.
