Google Street view is a useful and fun feature that allows people to explore the world from the comfort of their homes. The camera finds itself in some surprisingly remote and wonderful places and sometimes manages to capture some truly bizarre scenes on its journey throughout the world.
Added to that is this episode from Japan when a plucky little dog decided that it would give chase to the Google Street View car. Why do (mainly tiny) silly dogs do this, and what do they hope to achieve? Are they planning to rip the huge street view car to shreds upon capture? Nobody knows, and nobody knows what happened when the car hit a dead end, with the doggo still bounding manically along in hot pursuit.
The brave and slightly unhinged pup, who's probably of a native breed Shiba Inu, has become a hit in Japan, with the district of Kumage, in Kagoshima Prefecture, suddenly becoming a popular search subject on Google Street View. How the scene was first found is a mystery. Are there people out there scouring every inch of the Earth from their desktops, searching for weird and hilarious scenes? We can only hope so. This isn't even the first viral Google Street View funny dog either, check out this super cute pup following the camera around in Korea!
