A viral video of a dog sitting on top of a moving car on a Bengaluru road is gaining traction on social media. The clip showed a brown-collared dog patiently standing on top of a moving car, before perching on the car roof.
Dog on Roof of Moving Car
Shared by a page called Forever Bengaluru, the video was recorded by a passenger passing a car. But strangely enough, a dog was seen sitting on top of the car and not fiddling even when the vehicle was moving. It is unsure if the ‘stunt’ was intended, but it surely raised quite a few eyebrows on the micro-blogging site.
“Just Bengaluru things,” read the caption of the post, which has accumulated more than 180,000 views and nearly 1,200 likes and comments.

Netizens React
The viral video has left internet users furious and has ignited a debate on road safety and animal abuse. Twitteratis were quick to criticize the driver of the car for putting the dog in danger.
What concerns me is that the dog is collared, which means they probably own the dog and have placed it on top of the car. Posing a hazard on the road and to the traffic.

Definitely wrong thing to do .just because an animal cant speak doesnot give us any right to put the animal in risky situations ….the car driver must be suitably advised
