A video recently shared on X showcases a young schoolboy in Johor, narrowly escaped a potentially fatal situation.
The young student found himself in a harrowing chase involving a pack of stray dogs, leading to an almost tragic encounter with oncoming traffic.
At one point, he stumbles, barely regaining his footing as the dogs continue their pursuit.
The tense moments are heightened when he dashes onto a busy road, narrowly avoiding oncoming cars.
Passersby and motorists can be seen reacting in shock and concern, as the boy’s ordeal unfolds in front of them.
Witnesses captured the scene, showing the boy’s desperate attempt to evade the dogs, which inadvertently led him onto a busy road.
This close call has raised concerns about stray animal control in Johor. The video, shared widely across social media, underscores the dangers faced by pedestrians when stray animals are not adequately managed.
Local authorities have been urged to take immediate action to address the stray dog problem and ensure public safety.
As the boy thankfully escaped unharmed, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers stray animals can pose, especially in urban areas.
