A dog owner brings his down to watch a leg of the Tour de France

Check out a viral video documenting a funny scene from this year's Tour de France competition.

During the second stage of the competition, a dog bursts out onto the tracks. The animal breaks loose but makes it across the road and back, and then walks to the other side again.

A man who is probably the pooch's owner tries to run after it in the time it takes a group of cyclists to go through.

The dog safely gets out of the way before the second peloton can trample all over it, so it gets pretty lucky. It could also have hurt the competitors' times if it didn't move out of the street.

This video is sure to teach pet owners to bring leashes when attending sporting events.
