Viral video: Scooter riders escape dog chase by claiming to be 'locals', watch
In a viral video, two scooter riders avoid being chased by street dogs at night by repeatedly assuring them they are locals.
In an unexpected twist, two scooter riders managed to avoid a potentially dangerous encounter with street dogs by asserting their local status. A viral video captures the tense moment when two strays, initially charging towards the scooter, halt their pursuit after the riders assure them that they are from the area.
The 8-second clip starts with the sound of distant barks as the scooter glides through a residential suburb at night. One dog soon appears on the left, ready to chase the vehicle. Moments later, a second dog, initially hidden, joins the chase.
In a surprising turn of events, the scooter riders begin shouting, "Local hain! (We're locals!)" repeatedly. Their pleas seem to work as the dogs, now within biting distance, are pacified and stop their pursuit.
The video has left social media users in disbelief. One user on X (formerly Twitter) asked, "How do dogs know that these people are local?" Another humorously commented, "It's good you told them you were local, otherwise you would have been made 'original.'"
The footage continues to gain traction, showcasing a unique way to handle street dogs.
