Who didn't let the dog out? A stink was raised during halftime of the Detroit Pistons-Orlando Magic NBA game on Tuesday when the start of the second half was delayed by three minutes after a seeing-eye dog relieved itself on the court.

The dog was with a charity organisation, Canine Companions for Independence, that was receiving a $10,000 (euro7,700) donation from the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation.

When the Pistons came out for warm-ups, Rasheed Wallace walked up to the lane where the excrement had fallen, stopped and stared in disbelief. His teammates were just as confused before wide smiles broke out.

A janitor was enlisted to scoop up the mess and wipe up the remains with a mop and towels.
