A late contender has emerged to become the BBC’s most talked about interviewee of the week, and perhaps the Beeb's finest ever caption: Bounce, the dog.
Bounce, a yellow Labrador, was on BBC News on Friday for an item explaining how dogs can recognise facial expressions and judge human character, and his laid back performance and brilliant yet basic caption have made him today’s darling of the Internet. Lest viewers be confused by the sight of a dog in the guest's chair, the BBC supplied this informative graphic.

With that simple caption, the world (or Twitter, anyway) loved Bounce

Bounce was accompanied on set by Dr Roger Mugford, who was discussing a study that found dogs are excellent judges of character, to the point that Dr Mugford suggested people should trust their dog’s judgment when choosing a new partner.
“I know many relationships which have foundered on that very judgment of a dog," Dr Mumford said.
Bounce appeared a little bored by the whole affair.
