A man has gone viral for saving his dog from a kangaroo.
Video footage shows a kangaroo holding a dog's head just above the water of an Australian river. The owner rushes over, demanding the kangaroo let his dog go.
Moments later, the kangaroo lunges at the man and the video goes black as the phone was presumably dropped into the water. When the phone re-emerges, the dog is free and the man is backing away from the kangaroo.
Some commenters said they too would fight a kangaroo for their dog. Others were confused.
"So do kangaroo eat dogs or why is he trying to choke it," Letty Angeles said. While kangaroos are typically docile, confronting them is not recommended.
