In a scene straight out of a video game fever dream, a Shiba Inu recently cruised through the streets of Monaco in what might be the coolest canine moment ever.
Riding shotgun in a miniature McLaren F1 car, the four-legged star nonchalantly crossed the street like he owned the entire grid.
The 10-second clip, which has gone viral across social media, shows the pup sitting confidently in the tiny orange supercar.
As luxury cars line the iconic streets, the Shiba glances around with a calm, commanding presence that’s dripping in Formula 1 swagger.

Only in Monaco
The clip was filmed in Monaco, home to the most expensive Grand Prix of them all.
It quickly went viral, drawing thousands of likes and comments.

Many couldn’t resist paw-related puns, while others joked that McLaren driver Lando Norris looks a little furrier than usual.
This apparently drew the attention of the Monaco Grand Prix champion himself, who commented
Netizens also teased Norris’ McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. They warned that he should ‘watch out’ because his seat might just be in danger.
Not the first Shiba Inu in a mini-supercar
What makes the moment even more surreal is how composed the Shiba looked.

As if crossing the Monaco street in a McLaren F1 was just another Tuesday, this dog is living the life.
Tail down, ears perked, and not a care in the world. He exuded the kind of unbothered coolness usually reserved for seasoned F1 champions.
It’s unclear whether this was a clever bit of social media performance art, or just a dog enjoying the finer things in life.
However, the clip has definitely sparked joy across the racing and dog-loving corners of the internet alike.
Surprisingly, this isn’t even the first time a Shiba Inu has been spotted riding in a mini-supercar.
A Dubai entrepreneur recently celebrated receiving his 1-of-20 Bugatti Chiron Noire Sportive, by having his four Shiba Inus ride in a mini Bugatti.
