South Africa’s roads are known for their wild and wacky moments, but this one takes the cake!

A now-viral TikTok video uploaded by @hlela_okuhle had the internet buzzing with laughter after capturing a rather unusual sight - a dog riding as a passenger in a public taxi.

Yes, you read that right!

In the video, the four-legged friend sat quietly on the seat, behaving better than most kids do.

With its ears perked and a cautious look in its eyes, the dog appeared both nervous and curious. The fluffy cutie didn’t bark, jump or cause a scene.

The video garnered over 1.5-million views, more than 200,000 likes, and over 2,000 comments.

South Africans flooded the comments section with jokes and hilarious puns about dogs. Take a look at the comments below: 

Tebatso commented:
“I just want to know what the driver said.”

Lady Leighbow asked:
“Did he pay???”
