In her hand was the retrieved microphone sporting a few teeth marks.

Martin was sitting like a perfect gentleman beside her. During the break, the reporter met Martin’s owner who said he is “very kind and playful.” No one was harmed and the reporter gained a new friend.

The two shook on their new friendship before the clip ended.
