Greig Tonkins, 34, punching a Kangaroo to save his dog.

The bewildering footage of a man getting into a tiff with a large kangaroo to save his dog from strangulation is all over social media right now.

This video of a man saving his dog might be the craziest thing you see today. The video shows 34-year-old Greig Tonkins, a zookeeper and an animal lover, thundering towards a kangaroo to save his pet dog, Max.

The video was taken by Tonkin's friend from a safe distance while sitting in a car. The two were on a hunting trip in the rural bushland.

Tonkins punches the kangaroo right on his chin, leaving the marsupial startled. He can also be heard yelling, 'Max, come here'.

As of Monday, the video on Facebook had grabbed more than 4 million views since it was uploaded on Sunday.
