This dog chasing a Google Street View Car will make your week
Who says hump day has to be awful and tiring? Not with this little pupper on your side.
And who doesn’t want to spend a Wednesday watching a doggo try it’s very best?
No one, that’s who.
When a Google Street View van rolled across the streets of Japan, this very smol chihuahua-cross chased and chased until the van was gone.
The doggy was minding its own business near a boat in Kumage, in Japan’s Kagoshima Prefecture when the Street View van approach and the chase was on, according to AWOL.
It chased the van away from the boat all the way down the road with it’s lil’ legs.
So happy hump day readers. Let this be a reminder we don’t deserve dogs.
