FOX NEWS IN CHAOS : Viewers couldn’t stop laughing as Percy and Nala crashed the set mid-broadcast — leaving Dana Perino and Lawrence Jones desperately trying to restore order!

In a world of breaking news and political fireworks, Fox News anchors Dana Perino and Lawrence Jones have found something far simpler — and far sweeter — to bring them joy: their dogs.

What began as casual off-air chatter about pets has blossomed into a friendship grounded in shared walks, weekend playdates, and a hilarious on-air moment that proved once and for all that Percy and Nala are every bit as charming as their famous owners.

🐕 From “America’s Dog” to Percy’s Paws

For longtime Fox viewers, Dana Perino’s love of dogs is legendary. Her first Vizsla, Jasper, affectionately dubbed “America’s Dog,” became a network mascot. His gentle face appeared in Christmas specials, charity drives, and even campaign-trail jokes before his passing in 2021.

“Jasper was more than a dog — he was family,” Perino once said. “When he died, I thought I’d never open my heart again.”

But she did. Enter Percy, a miniature Vizsla with boundless energy and a knack for photobombing his mom’s Zoom hits. “Percy is pure joy,” Perino told viewers earlier this year. “He’s smaller than Jasper but has the same bossy personality. He basically runs the house.”

🐾 Lawrence Jones & Nala — A Rescue With Heart

Across the studio floor, Lawrence Jones, co-host of Fox & Friends, shares a similar story. His golden-retriever mix Nala was rescued from a Dallas shelter before he left Texas to join Fox News in New York.

“She’s been with me through it all,” Jones said on Instagram. “When I was broke, when I moved, when I got my first show — Nala kept me grounded. She’s my girl.”

Their bond mirrors his own rise from small-town radio to national television: loyal, humble, and real.

🐶 A Friendship That Started at the Dog Park

It was only a matter of time before these two dog lovers connected. As colleagues on The Five and Fox & Friends, Perino and Jones often swapped stories about dog food, chew toys, and muddy paws during commercial breaks. One day, a producer suggested, “You two should do a dog segment together!”

Instead, they took the idea off-air — to the park.

“Percy chases Nala like she’s royalty,” Dana laughed. “And Nala just rolls her eyes like a big sister. Watching them is better than TV.”

Their weekly dog walks soon became tradition. When the pair joked about being “co-parents,” their colleagues teased that they’d accidentally formed the Fox News dog club.

Jones still laughs about one day at the park: “We tried to get the dogs to leave, and they just sat there side by side like, ‘We’re not done.’ That’s when Dana said, ‘Guess it’s a foursome now.’ She was right — Percy and Nala pulled us into this little family circle.”

🎥 Chaos on Live TV

That “family circle” took center stage in spectacular fashion this summer. During a cheerful Friday broadcast, Perino surprised viewers by bringing Percy to the studio. Moments later, Jones appeared — with Nala trotting proudly behind him.

What was supposed to be a cute cameo quickly spiraled into live-TV chaos.

Percy darted straight toward the cameras, tail wagging like a helicopter. Nala followed — but veered into the makeup counter, scattering brushes across the floor. The control room panicked, the crew burst out laughing, and Perino could barely finish the segment.

“It was the first time I truly lost control of The Five,” she joked afterward. Jones grinned: “Hey, at least our kids stole the show — just like their parents.”

The clip went viral across social media. Viewers called it “the most human moment in cable news all year.”

💖 A Bond Beyond Broadcast

Beyond the laughs, there’s real tenderness between the two anchors. When Jasper passed away, Jones was one of the first to reach out publicly, posting, “Jasper wasn’t just Dana’s dog — he was all of ours. Thank you, Dana, for letting us love him too.”

Perino still tears up remembering it. “Lawrence understood that Jasper wasn’t just a pet. He represented years of love and comfort. That kind of empathy means everything.”

Since then, their friendship has deepened. Colleagues say they’re rarely seen without swapping dog pictures between segments or sneaking treats into their desks. “They’ve become like big sister and little brother,” one producer said. “And Percy and Nala are basically Fox News mascots now.”

🌟 “It’s Family”

Jones puts it best: “In this business, it’s easy to get caught up in the grind. But sometimes, life reminds you that connection — real connection — is what matters.”

Perino smiles whenever she hears that. “Jasper brought me joy. Percy keeps me smiling. And thanks to Nala — and Lawrence — I get to share that joy again. At the end of the day,” she said softly, “it’s family.”

And somewhere in the background, two wagging tails agree. 🐾❤️
