If you want a good reason as to why you need both a Photographer and a Reporter on a news shoot, let's head to Valdosta, GA for the answer. 

WCTV was doing a story about a family that just recently lost their mother to cancer. Now, another member of the family was gone. 

Will Rumley was speaking to WCTV about the heartbreak of losing his six-year-old German shepherd named Judo.

He and his two sons just lost their wife and mother and now Judo was gone. “On the heels of that happening, now losing a family pet. He’s a member of our family. It’s heartbreaking,” Rumley said.

As he spoke to the reporter about how Judo was acting leading up his disappearance, Rumley suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye.

“There he is! He just showed up!” an amazed Rumley is recorded telling the reporter as he watched Judo arrive home. “This is awesome … he showed up while we were talking!”

But, we never saw the money shot of the dog just showing up, because the MMJ was doing two jobs at once and totally missed, what was sure to be an Emmy award winning shot. 

Thankfully... it's still a very happy story and ends with a happy family. But, the best part of the story will never be seen. That's because there was no Photog to swing the camera around and get the shot.
