Run, doggie, run!

A dog in Japan earned his 15 minutes of fame when he was captured on Google Street View fearlessly chasing the tech company’s Street View car down the road.

The canine, from the district of Kumage in Japan’s Kagoshima Prefecture, can be seen in several images on Google Maps sprinting down the road after the vehicle, which has a huge, globe-like, 360-degree camera attached to its roof.

According to the images, the free-roaming pup appeared to have first spotted the Google car when it was hanging out by a mounted boat alongside a desolate road.

When the car got ahead of the brown and white dog, the hound sprinted quickly after it with its tongue hanging out – in the perfect line of view for the animal’s glamour shot.

Social media users in Japan first spotted the pup — whose car chase made for the most epic photobomb — on Google Maps.

It was not immediately known who owns the dog or whether it was a stray.
