"Haha so realistic": Internet in splits as a pug takes down GTA online player in a viral video

GTA Online has emerged at the center stage of hilarious reactions from players after the unthinkable happened. Apparently, an in-game creature gave a decisive knockdown to a player. The creature concerned is not a mammoth or a rhino: it is a pug!

Netizens are dubbing this as one of the most relatable gaming moments of recent memory. The video shows a player fully dressed in signature GTA style, ready to engage in some high adrenaline hustle, and just when you are preparing yourself for the chase, a pug enters and gets the man down flat on earth.

Now, let us not pretend like we have not encountered such a shenanigan from our neighbourhood pets. (saw those DoorDash delivery videos?) When that friend of ours suggested GTA online, boasting 'get ready for mayhem', he did not mention this. This mayhem is so relatable that some fans even felt a big wet tongue licking them for some head pats.

From pug to thug, the transition happened fast. Fans are dubbing him the IRL final boss, while some thought of this as an addition of dog physics to GTA's anti-cheat system. If you have encountered

This is not the first time that a pet pulled off a disruptive but cute shenanigan. When it comes to pugs, the little mayhem bearers have a special talent. Remember all the times when you just sat beside your dog, eating your food, and the creature gave you the judgmental side-eye?

Dog shenanigans in gaming culture

With their cute, smooshed faces, absolutely zero sense of privacy, they are tiny, goofy balls of wonder and destruction, rolled into one. This is why many big gaming giants have recently introduced petting features with dogs, cats, or baby wolves. Assassin's Creed: Shadows has introduced a feature that lets you pet a personal dog. Again, in Assassin's Creed Mirage, a player can befriend a cat. Pets have long been part of human society and culture. According to cultural practices and geographies where the game gets located, makers are starting to introduce petting therapy as an added attraction.
