Google Street View comes in handy when you’re visiting a new city. It also inspires people – and sometimes pets – to act a little crazy. (Check out some of the photos on Street View Fun for examples.)

Recently, one of Google’s camera-wielding cars captured footage of a sassy little dog in Japan’s Kagoshima Prefecture. Apparently the pup doesn’t take kindly to his territory being invaded.

Or maybe he’s just camera shy.

The unsuspecting Google driver encountered the pooch at a boatyard in the town of Kumage. You can tell from his body language that the dog is instantly displeased.

It could be he was protecting his owner, or maybe he’s been trained to guard the boatyard. Either way, as the strange vehicles passed, the dog immediately gave chase.

Despite the obvious size difference, the pooch reacted fearlessly.

The Google car’s 360 degree cameras managed to accomplish what they came for: capture images of the Kumage shoreline.

But to the delight of dog lovers everywhere, those images will forever feature this plucky pup and his valiant efforts to protect his little corner of the earth!
