PeytonandEli Manninggot an adorable four-legged surprise on the latest edition of theManningCast.

While reacting to the Baltimore Ravens versus Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on Monday, Oct. 21, the brothers were met with an unexpected appearance of Eli’s golden retriever, Hank.

The visit occurred as Peyton coached Eli through a pocket movement drill that had him shuffling through football bags on the ground.

After Peyton instructed him to throw the ball, Hank ran on screen, causing Peyton to hilariously say, “I don’t know if there will be a dog on the field in the game tonight.”

Eli gave Hank a sweet hug and rubs before he and his brother proceeded with their show.

“Going through a loss of a dog for the first time was tough last yearwhen we lost Chester, who was 12 years old. My wife and I’s first dog, even before we had kids, and tough for everybody,” Eli told PEOPLE in January.

“But now we have Hank, a big golden retriever who brings a lot of joy and a lot of work. But to see the bond that the kids have with him, and the fun and the joy, has been awesome,” he continued.

Speaking to how dogs have been an important part of his family, he recalled Chester being present “through a lot of things.”
