Poor Barkley.
A halftime puppy race during last night’s game between the Suns and Kings didn’t exactly go as planned after one dog stole the show for all of the wrong reasons.
The pup, affectionately named “Barkley,” couldn’t seem to find the finish line and ended up peeing on the court; causing a delay in the eventual 119-117 win for the hometown team.

“Puppy was like, ‘you’re not the only one who can piss all over the floor, Suns players!'”
The meme that may keep on giving.
