At one point, the dog almost runs right into the path of an oncoming lorry but thankfully, veers away just in time.

The man, whom netizens assume to be the owner of the dog, is seen falling onto the road in his efforts to catch his pet as motorists are heard sounding their horns.

Towards the end of the video, more people are seen joining the chase.

Netizens have slammed the owner for being irresponsible and not leashing his dog.

According to NParks, pet owners are required by law to leash their dogs in public places.

The maximum fine for not leashing a pet dog is $5,000.
