Playful dog chases Google Maps StreetView car for 15 seconds of fame

If you search for directions in the district of Kumage in Japan’s Kagoshima Prefecture, you may notice a playful-looking white and brown dog in the Google StreetView images, Briefly News reports.

The playful pooch found an unlikely playmate in the Google Maps car, which has a 360-degree camera located on its roof. Images on Google Maps show the white and brown-coloured dog near a quiet road close to a marina. The car then moves along the road, but the dog doesn't give up and clearly wants to make the most of his time on camera.

It's likely that the dog thought this interaction with the car was a game as it playfully ran and then came to a halt before charging ahead of the vehicle, all in the hopes of landing the perfect pose. Well, it clearly worked, the dog is a natural on camera.
