Pune Roads Get Pawsome Upgrade: Dog Rides Atop Auto Rickshaw Like The ‘Lord Of The Streets’ | Video

Pune’s streets are used to traffic, honking and unusual sights, but sometimes something truly unexpected stops people in their tracks. Around Dange Chowk, daily commuters often witness crowded roads, auto-rickshaws weaving through lanes, and bikes squeezing past cars.

Yet even in this busy chaos, a quiet moment managed to stand out. Instead of a passenger inside an auto, people noticed a dog sitting on top of one, calmly, confidently, and as if it belonged there.

Dog Sits Steady atop a moving rickshaw

The clip begins on a busy road in Dange Chowk. In the frame, an auto-rickshaw moves through traffic while a dog sits comfortably on its roof. The dog is not pacing, barking, or trying to jump down; it simply sits still, looking around at the passing

vehicles and people below.

Even when the auto goes over a speed breaker, the dog barely moves, maintaining its balance with surprising ease. Its body language appears relaxed, almost as if it is used to this unusual perch.

As the auto continues driving, the camera captures the surrounding traffic, with bikes, cars, and other rickshaws moving alongside it. The dog remains seated the entire time, showing no signs of panic or discomfort. Towards the end of the clip, the auto gradually moves further away into the traffic, and the dog can still be seen sitting calmly on top as the vehicle blends into the busy road.

The text overlaid on the video reads, “Don Mhantyat Don,” while the location is tagged as “Dange Chowk.”
