This is the moment a police stand-off was interrupted by a tenacious little pug wanting to pick a fight with a police dog.

A swat team in Phoenix, Arizona, had to take time away from their intense negotiation with a suspected armed robber to shoo the little mutt.

A video showed the pug continually trying to get at the police hound, with annoyed policemen having to chase it away.

Eventually officers were able to get rid of the brave animal and return to the stand-off with the suspected Subway shop robber, who had barricaded himself inside his home.


The six-hour siege eventually ended when the suspect shot and killed himself.
